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…

Well Envato/Themeforest need to work this out for their own good. Until they can provide a reasonable solution to this, I am, whenever possible (which is most always), I am buying directly from the Developer’s website or through other theme marketplaces. The Developers are not exclusive to Envato. F…

Appreciate your thoughts on this. I agree with you, I think ThemeForest needs to figure this out, but also think the Ghost Team should remove linking through to them from their ghost.org/marketplace/ site. This is going to catch a lot of developers out when they might not realize they need an Exten…

Here is another example, buying from t2themes at Gumroad ($39) vs the same theme from Envato/Themeforest ($2250 for the extended license): ($39 on Gumroad - there is no specified limitation on license) https://gumroad.com/t2themes ($2250 on Envato/Themeforest with specified limitations on “Extend…

I’ve got this same question. I submitted a ticket to Evanto support asking for clarity. Their examples are 2+ years old and are all over the place. I can use a regular license to create a TV ad but an extended license if I have gated content? Right. My non-lawyer take is this. A paid newsletter sh…

You absolutely should not need to purchase an extended license in order to use Ghost’s features - that’s completely ridiculous. It sounds like the team in question have not understood the functionality. @brian feel free to cc me - john@ghost.org - on the support ticket with Envato, happy to help ge…

@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’m literally laughing over this. I’m being one of those ignored voices, that reclaims further support on the themes side from the Ghost organization. A few of use are not deverlopers (we may be able to maintain a server, but we are not good enough to translate the default themes and keep them up-t…

I heard back from Themeforest and they are, so far, sticking with requiring an Extended license if a Ghost Install makes use a of paywall feature. John was copied on my ticket and I know there are others in the system as well. I’ve asked to be escalated to someone at Envanto to have this stupid pol…
