Which licensing options will apply if we use it in in-house company CMS?
See this quote from here:
[... ] The whole story becomes slightly more complex when applied to the GPL Javascript Library. When users are using the library, they will download HTML, CSS images and JavaScript library. The first thing to realize is that you are distributing the code. It was on your server and now on the user's computer It gives any user the right to view the javascript code and it is reused for any other project. This means that you can not obscure the javascript code and people can copy / paste it for their own use. This is probably how you can see javascript in the present but about HTML, CSS and images, can it be used publicly? No, it can not be that they are not code defined in the GPL license, it should be considered data. For this, the GPL is not affiliated with that part of the application.
A web application will contain not only client-side code, but also a part of PHP on the server (or JSP, or Ruby, or ..) The big question is that we should Also need to be issued (under the GPL license). Although we think of developers as part of the client and server part 2 being part of the same application, GPL does not. When using AJAX, client code is interacting with the server. However you can compare it to any other client / server application. It can be interpreted as 2 apps, between which data has been transferred, so both of them may have a separate license, it is called 'ASP Hedge Path' and it is in the form of an error by some when If GPLv3 was prepared, then a clear decision was taken to stop this redress.
Whether or not the distribution of internal use is related to:
Creating and using multiple copies within an organization or company "distribution" is? No, in that case the organization is just making copies for itself, as a result, a company or other organization can develop a revised version and install that version through its own facilities, without modifying that version to the outside people Without giving permission to release However, when the organization transfers copies to other organizations or individuals, then distribution is done. Specifically, providing copies to contractors to use off-site distribution is distribution.
Then IANL, but I can say that you will be very safe to use the GPLD Javascript Library for internal systems, and even if you want it to be used in the rest of the world , The only restriction that applies is that if you use the GPLAD JavaScript library in your front end code, you will need to enter your Javascript files Uninterrupted editions should be made available if you only use EXGES for the admin area (and the admin area is accessed by your employees only) You will still be clear from the distribution section of GPL, the way I understand it .
Interestingly, there is another version of GPL, who tries to stop this "redress".
