Erpnext.com is GPL 3.0 but you are "expected to not fork the software because we have built it in a way that any change in a fork would need to be changed multiple times reducing its effect. The upside is, you use the software but pay us support money. You are free to check the source code but please please do not fork as our livelihood depends on brand erpnext and the support. A fork hurts that so please don't. "
- wizzwizz4 5y agoYou're allowed to use the code for whatever else you like, though. For instance, if you want to grab some of their HTTP-handling code, or maybe the markup parser, or perhaps look at how they got modeless key combinations to work in the browser… you can just copy-and-paste into any GPLv3 or AGPLv3 codebase, add a comment for attribution and you're done. GPL is good for more than just forking.
