I would like to use CKEditor in an asp.net project (vb.net). It's not clear to me how under which licensing model I fit or what my duties would be. Because this is asp.net, I am unclear if this is a special case. Any guidance on this would be helpful. Here are the details:
1) It is an asp.net project for a 3rd party, paying client
2) We need to use the library on a development machine to create the client's website, as well as on the client's server.
3) This is an internal, non-public website.
4) We do not plan to modify the source code, binary files, or javascript files for the editor.
5) We will obviously configure the editor to match the needs of the client (removing buttons and toolbars they don't want etc.)
6) We do not intend to license the finished website as open source or free software.
7) We do not currently need commercial support services (although that might change in the future at which point we understand we would have to buy a commercial license).
For the non-CDL licensing models, what exactly do we have to provide source code to the client for the asp.net version of the control in order to fulfill its terms. Also, is the about button required as part of the terms?
Thanks,
a confused Michael

Re: asp.net licensing model
But, I have noticed what i think may be a small bug in the asp.net control. On my page, the ckEditor control is just beneath a static horizontal asp.net menu control containing sub-menus and sub-sub-menus. I noticed that when I rollover the menu (which is generated as ul/li elements from the asp.net menu) that just the buttons in the toolbar are visible through and on top the asp.net menu, whereas the rest of the control overlapped by the menu is behind the control. when i roll the mouse over the visible button on top of the menu i get a rapid flashing behavior. when i roll the mouse off the button and back over the menu itself, the flashing behavior stops. I think this might be a css behavior - is this a known issue? Can it be solved just by using z-index, and if so what is your recommendation for doing that?
Thanks,
Michael
