Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> GPL Licensing -> Re: GPL Licensing for Flash code

I guess it boils down to the license Macromedia has on those components and whether it is GPL-compatible. I believe it's this:

    Supplemental License Terms

and here's some plain English stuff related to it.

Now, "I am not a lawyer", but it looks like you have to make "substantial" changes to those components, keep any copyright info they contain, and not use their name in vain. Providing you do that then they should be fine to distribute in a GPL package. I would include a copy of their license with the code, to be sure.

Best people to ask would be Macromedia themselves, though. If there's any problems at all then I would recommend using Open Source components all the way.

I suppose someone somewhere might want to show only feedback until the quiz closes, and then show correct answers.  Or even vice versa.

If we took your first version Prem, then put those two smaller menus underneath like your second version, and added javascript to set the submenus to "never" whenever the main menu was set to never, how would that work for everyone?

An overview report like that for the whole class, available directly from the forum, would be a great idea.

In the meantime, for individual activity reports more detailed than the user profile page, click on "Activity Report" and then Complete Report.
