Cyn.in is open source, how does it affect me?

Cyn.in is an open source software distributed under the GNU GPLv3 license. According to this license you have complete access to the code and you are free to modify the code. However, you would need to comply with the GPL's requirements around retaining the "Appropriate Legal Notices", both in the source code and on the user interface. In the case of the cyn.in Community Edition, these are the "Powered by cyn.in" and "A Cynapse Invention" logo, the original copyright notices and any disclaimers. If the display of the logos are not reasonably feasible for technical reasons, the Appropriate Legal Notices must display the words "Powered by cyn.in" AND "A Cynapse invention". You will need to clearly indicate that the software is a modification of original code and the date the modification was created.
