The GPLv2 licensing claimed for this project on sourceforge.net conflicts with the commercial licensing you show on http://calendarwizard.sourceforge.net/download.html

To charge for commercial usage, you might explore other open source licensing options available to you at http://oss-watch.ac.uk/apps/licdiff/

    i am having trouble using calendar wizard in indesign. The in design app freezes and i can not even close the program. i just saw that there is a conflict with the commercial use licencing. i have just purchased a $20.00 commercial licence. Will this resolve the conflict?

      The conflict in licensing only applies to the documentation. It does not affect operation. This web site (https://sourceforge.net/projects/calendarwizard/) describes this software as licensed under the "GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2)". Under this license, you can freely do whatever you want, including commercial use. There is no need to pay for this software under this GPL license (although Scott certainly deserves compensation for his excellent work).

      This bug report was simply submitted to make Scott aware that he should change the license type from GPL if he wants to charge a fee for a specific type of usage (commercial). Presently, he's presenting conflicting information about the licensing of this project.

      The unrelated unresponsive script error you mention appears to be a failing on Mac. Check the Adobe forums for support on "nested script UI dialogs".
