License Query

Open soulehshaikh99 opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

Since you are using ckeditor 4 in your project which is a GPL license, how are you licensing your library as MIT? Can I use keditor in a commercial project? Is my understanding correct?

Yeah so short answer no. You need to follow the CKEDITOR license. It is not legal for the author of KEditor to put KEditor as a MIT license.

Im currently trying to figure out how to change it to Quill or editor.js

Changing it to use Quill or editor.js

I'm having a look at using editor.js

Ah, right. Can I ask what you used instead?

So, at the time i was using PHP for building my clients websites. Afterwards i switched to Nuxt 3, and have no idea how i would ever build a website editor that would work with Nuxt. So i basically gave up... I just think there are so many tools out already, and you will never be able to compete with them.

Yeh, true. I need a website editor on my site. A site that probably won't make a profit for a long time. Can't afford to shell out for a CKeditor licence. I'll persevere with trying to use editor.js for a while. Cheers.
