License Requirements for the CKEditor

[mjwsfg]

This plug-in is of course used to integrate the commercial & OSS product CK Editor. As a company we pay particular and careful attention to utilizing products/components that utilize a copy-left license like the GNU GPL. I'm sure in general, pretty much everyone that uses this plug-in and thus the CK Editor in Craft CMS just starts using it and rolls with it.

I realize that with the GNU GPL, in general you are allowed to use a product, even commercially. Key issue is whether or not you are distributing or conveying said "product" or application. Utilizing it within a website does not constitute distribution or conveyance. So technically good there.

The maker of the CK Editor though, has conflicting messaging and statements on how this impacts users of this plug-in and thus the CK Editor. See https://ckeditor.com/legal/fair-acceptable-use-policy/, https://ckeditor.com/legal/ckeditor-licensing-options/

Just wondering how the developers and users have been addressing this and in what context.
