Client Sites vs. Products

Grav Premium Components are themes, skeletons and plugins, which means the thing you build with them can end up looking a lot like the thing you bought. This section spells out where the line sits. It applies to both the Standard and the Team license.

Delivering a site is fine. Build a site for yourself or for a client, modify the Grav Premium Components however you need along the way, and hand the finished site to whoever owns it. Each production site needs its own license key.

Distributing a component is not. You cannot package a theme, skeleton, plugin or starter site that contains Grav Premium Components, or anything derived from them, and pass it to other people. That applies whether you charge for it or give it away, and it applies however much you have changed it. A heavily modified theme is still a derivative of the theme it started from. The proportion of your own work in it does not change that.

The difference is repetition. One site, delivered once, to one owner is fine. A component distributed to many people is not.

If you have built something on top of a Grav Premium Component and you want to sell it, the usual answer is to separate your own original work into standalone plugins that carry no Grav Premium code. Those are yours to sell however you like, and we would be glad to see them in the ecosystem. Email us at [email protected] if you want to talk it through.

Open Source

Our plugins may use existing open source packages inside them and these often have their own licenses. If any license requires a global license type to maintain compatibility with that license, then the plugin should be considered a dual license of the Grav Premium license and the compatible license type. Any open source elements contained in a Grav Premium component are free to be distributed and used in accordance with their license.
