hello evolters

I'm about to embark on a small quasi-inexistant budget contract.
The client wants a message board, a chat room, and some sort of CMS, for
less money than my weekly grocery bill. So of course, I'm not going to
develop everything from scratch.

If I take ready-made solutions like PHPBB, and PHP-Nuke, that are under open
source and GNU license, is that legal? I am not charging for any development
time, but I would charge for time spent installing. There would be no
customisation. The site itself is not-for-profit, and is educational.

I've always been unclear about what one can do with GNU-type solutions...

Nicole
