Doubts about community version

Hi,

I see there are now a community edition, free for opensource projects.

What kind of license enduser application must have? There are a lot of OSS licenses.

I don't have problem with open the source of my app (maybe we will purchase commercial license, but source of most of my projects probably will be opensource anyway), but I wouldn't like to end user resell it.

It's possible with community, to develop opensource end users apps, but with restriction of resell it?

Unless there is something in the stack file that marks a file as being created in the Community version, I guess you can use whatever license you want, but I would recommend a Commercial license and just releasing your stack files with whatever license you want (probably better for you legally and morally ;-) )

Works created with the Community Edition inherit the freedoms and responsibilities of its governing license, the GNU Public License version 3:

As Sean noted, works created with the Commercial Edition grant you the additional freedom to use a proprietary license, or most other license options you may consider.
