Sell a CodeIgniter application? - El Forum - 04-07-2009

Hey.
I do not understand licenses that well so I thought I'd ask on here. Is it possible and legal to sell applications that have been built using the CI framework and if so, what are the licensing restrictions and requirements?
Thanks.
Ryan.
