Bought some script of someone here-Is it legal?

    I bought a pack of script from someone on here (with resale rights apparently)-Im sure it's fine however...
    When I downloaded them, I found that a lot were free scripts and some were
    GPL license scripts? I did know that you could sell free scripts like this?
    Also, would I /should I have been given some docs to prove that I have resale rights?

    Just want to be sure, can anyone advise at all?

    Thanks

    If you don't have anything saying you can resell copies, then you can't. I guess you could, but if you do something wrong, you have nothing to fall back on.

    So, this situation stops right here pretty much.

    Open source is not anti-capitalist.

    GPL allows the work to be sold for money.

    The only stipulation is that the source code must be provided and any modifications/additions to the program must also be released under the GPL.

    People have long been assembling collections of free scripts/software and selling them. And, open source and free software/scripts nearly always allow for redistribution as long as certain conditions are met. However, you would need to read the licenses contained with each script to be certain.
