Hello, I'm developing an app for my company and I was wondering if it's okay to edit source code or create a new plugin using existing plugins (with customized features implemented)? I'm curious because the Location Map doesn't have the features I need, and it would be nice to not have to completely develop a map plugin before adding in the features I need.

Would I be able to sell that plug in and how would I write my own copyright (if I can)?

It is appropriate to be a member when a user feels it is time to become a member. Non-members are entitled to a bedding-in period where they get to know what BT is all about - that can take a while for some of us. @metro - welcome to BT. It's worth noting only members can sell BT plug-ins. Comments @Niraj - less of the hard sell - however well intentioned.
