Dear customers and everyone in the Joomla community,
With immediate effect (1st April 2009), Matamko has decided to change our propriety software license to GNU GPL 2.0
And this is not an April Fool's Joke, it so falls on today because our launch promotion ended on 31th March 2009.
Why the change?
To be really honest, the main motivation for the change came because Joomla Extensions announced that in July this year, they will no longer be listing non-GPL extensions. And as far as we are concerned, the JED provides a steady stream of highly targetted visitors to our website with a very good sales conversion. As such, after much deliberation, we decided to go GPL and to mitigate the risk of a small group of people forking our product by adding minimal (or no changes) at a lower cost, our pricing which still covers 1 year of support and access to our upgrades and patches will remain the same. Please note that this amount you pay us is no longer for the license (as it's GPL) but for the continued support and access to the updates.
How are existing customers affected?
It's good news for you!
You are now no longer bounded by our propriety license (1 license per domain) and can now install Matamko on as many websites as you wish!
You will still continue to enjoy the dedicated support we offer.
