Fully Open Source

Many of us are under an impression that open source is what is available for free and we directly link it with being available for free of cost. However, free doesn't just mean free of cost. Free means the freedom to get complete access to the source code, a freedom where, you are not bound by any license, like it is in a proprietary software and the freedom to modify the code for your own requirement.

Having said about full freedom, Spurtcommerce comes with complete source code. The Community Edition of Spurtcommerce comes free of cost too.

However, you will be allowed to do all these under the Spurtcommerce Developers' Lite Edition and 'Pro' Edition license that states that you can modify the source for your own use or for your Client's exclusive requirement. However, you cannot sell the modified source to others.
