I’ve been informed by Envato Legal Team (via Customer Support) that any Ghost 3.x.x installation using the default Members and Subscriptions features will require a ThemeForest Extended License, not the Regular License and pricing shown on the ghost.org/marketplace/ . This can be misleading to Ghost…

Envato have now completed the updates to their licensing: We are pleased to confirm that we have made changes to the Regular License terms for items in the Blogging category in Themeforest. The changes mean that items within this category , which includes Ghost themes, may be used for monetized me…

@John Thank you for weighing in on this and getting involved. I think it’s paramount to the community to have clear legal guidelines from it’s partners, especially with the prominent placement and tight integration ThemeForest is given in the marketplace. You’ve been CC’d on my conversation with th…

Has there been any update from Envato/ThemeForest on this issue? I’ve had clients drop Ghost this past month instead of waiting it out.

I wasn’t copied on that last response, but I’ll reach out now to their partnership team separately.

Have reached out 2x via support tickets and 2x via members of staff in the partners team - so far still no response from anyone there. I’ll try one more time now as a last effort, if there’s still no response then we’ll figure out what to do from there.

Thanks for your efforts @John .

Hi everyone - just a quick update here cause I know there are several people waiting. I chatted with the team at Envato today in detail, and we’re actively working together to find a solution will work for everyone. Their license is nuanced and has to account for a huge range of products in their m…

@John Do you have any updates or progress you can share from internal or external conversations? It’s been 5 weeks since your update and almost 3 months since this issue was first raised. I’ve spoken with @GBJsolution and it’s known they’ve lost sales over this. Can the Ghost Community and Team pr…
