Hi, we are building a hosted (non-downloadable) and commercial web application that will be used by our members to create a webshop and sell product safely online.

The application itself will be commercial: users have to pay a fee to login to the application.
We are unsure about licenses (GPL/MIT/...) in general.

If we use jQuery, is it enough to keep the license intact in the JS-file itself?
Is it possible to use CKEditor in our application when keeping the license intact? (http://ckeditor.com/license)

Of course we cannot just make our complete (PHP) application open source, that would be fatal for any commercial application.

Can anyone give a sensible answer to the questions above? We are wondering how any commercial hosted application implements libraries such as jQuery, jQuery plugins or CKEditor... When looking for answers in Google, it seems like nobody really knows for sure?

Thanks in advance,

Joris

Any tips on this one?

Yeah you can use GPL. I don't know anything about MIT license though.
