Hi, One copyright issue. If I use the GPL version of ezpublish, am I obliged to keep EZ copyright information and "Powered by ... " informaion at the footer of the pages and <meta> tags?I do not want to remove that informations from the source code (php, tpl...), but only from the html code that the system generates and sends to a web browser. Is that allowed by the GPL license?

No, you can hide this information, there's an option on design->look and fell
But if you change the kernel you need to release your changes as gpl. If you want to sell proprietary code based on eZ you'll need buy some of the proprietary license.

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the community portal. I'll keep it short, Thiago is spot on with his answer. You are allowed to hide/remove the copyright line / output to your site.
