    Custom sections for commercial use?

    Are you allowed to add a custom section to umbraco for commercial use?

    I would possible like to create some commercial packages for umbraco. But some of the ideas I have I would not know where to put.

    As an example let's look at some newsletter functionality that would have a uniqa workflow. This is all done from the backend where you can create some newsletter, view statistics setup some rules etc. Now I need a treeview to represent all this but I do not feel that this should be the Content treeview.

    And let's say I have 5 of these "backend/administration" type packages, then I would like to group these in one section. Am I allowed to do this and still charge money for it?

    If you have diifferent ideas please feel free to post them as well :)

    Kind Regards
    Jacob

    * other packages could be: Some specialised and complex administration of image galleries, Integration with external products that allow you to configure them in the umbraco backend.

    Creating a new section in the Umbraco UI is just an extension to the software, and you would not need a commercial license for that. As far as I know, it would be fine to sell that sort of package, and I believe it is encouraged by the core team as well.

    This is at least the way I understand the rules, but I will try and get confirmation on that.

    @Mortenbock
    Okay sounds really nice. If someone can confirm Mortens view on things then that would be great.

    @Ruben
    No I have not seen that before but I will give it a look. Thanks.

    Hi Jacob,

    Morten's view has been confirmed twitter-wise.

    Extract from the tweet:
    'yup, thats correct. Perfect answer :)'

    Regarding the approach that I wish to pursue. Am I on the right track here or is there a better way?
