    understand MIT and rebranding

    Hello to everybody.

    I hope I'm posting in the write place.

    There is something that i cannot understand about MIT licence and REBRANDING in umbraco. can anyone try to explain me this question?

    [i]If I create a website for a customer, change the umbraco's default layout and add a customer logo as a top banner, am I still respecting the umbraco's MIT Licence?

    I have no problem to keep on every page's footer a ubraco logo thats shows i'm using an open source project.[/i]

    Thanks in advance.

    Basically, to change the admin branding you need a commercial license (AFAIK)

    The Umbraco framework is MIT licensed, the ui/back office is freeware under a propriatary license.

    thank you guys for your replies.
    So i can rebrand the site's masterpage but not the back office.

    looks like a good deal :)

    Just wondering, if I have a design I want to create for the UI/backend (Admin area) but I keep the Umbraco branding, is that allowed? I have a layout that I'd like to use which is slightly different from the existing Umbraco admin. If I change the admin, but don't add my own logo and keep the Umbraco branding, is that allowed?
