No, it is not a violation according to our corporate lawyer. It is indeed written in PERL 5, however, we also make a freeware version available to those who ask for it -- we also have a line of ``Minivend Front End Modules'' that allow for expandability with the interface.
We mainly use it for our web hosting clients who use Minivend and have a need to update their pricing, products, or quantity databases regularly. It is also an easier way to eliminate the need for telnet as you can even edit the catalog.cfg file, and reconfig the catalog all online.
BTW, next time write to me directly... do waste bandwidth with non-unrelated questions / postings.
Thanks,
Jason Korkin.

If that's a perl-based product, isn't it a violation of the GNU to charge for it?

Subject: Re: Shop-Administration via Web...We have a commercially available product called Minivend Front End; which allows for addition, editing, and deletion directly from the catalog. If you would like more information, please see: http://www.korksoft.com/html/mvfe.html

the shop and they are administrating the shop with GUI web interface we
have made for them (written in php3). The personnel that are updating the
shop are not trained computer experts. I guess it's only a matter of
designing your admin tools so that they are easy to use.Esa
