Existing projects may need major refactoring however. Co-authored-by: JeremyStarTM <jeremystartm@staropensource.de> Co-committed-by: JeremyStarTM <jeremystartm@staropensource.de>

# Licensing
|
|
## Disclaimer
|
|
This documentation page only covers the most important licensing question. If you want to read more about the GNU General Public License Version 3, [read this](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html).

|
|
## Note
|
|
Under a **modified CORE copy** we understand a CORE installation that has been modified in any way. The configuration file `config.gd` is excluded.
|
|
|
|
## What happens when the license is violated against?
|
|
We'll contact the person/organisation doing that. If they won't take it down or can't be contacted, we'll send a cease and desist letter or contact a lawyer.
|
|
|
|
## Can I use CORE inside of my proprietary application or game?
|
|
No, you are not allowed to do that. Your project must be open source. [Read more...](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLInProprietarySystem)
|
|
|
|
## Do I need to publish a modified CORE copy?
|
|
If your project is private, no. But if you are publishing or sharing a application/game that uses a modified CORE copy, **you are required** to publish the modified CORE code under the GNU General Public License v3.

## Can I sell my CORE fork?
