Could I develop another Open source version?

[minhlt]

SugarCRM CE leased under GPL license. Could I develop another Open source version (with another name) base on SugarCRM CE for my country as ......? If I want to do this, I need to have acception of whom and which regulation I have to obey?

Yes. Read the GLPv3 license

I suggest reading over the SugarCRM GPL v3 FAQ.

I know there is at least one SugarCRM fork, you can read about it if you search SugarCRM on Wikipedia.
Read the GNU/GPLv3 anyways.

The fork you are referring to happened from a version of SugarCRM not under the GPL. Sugar only adopted the GPL fairly recently - that other project uses code from version 1.5 of SugarCRM subject to an old version of the SPL - Sugar Public License.

You are right, that fork was built on former SPL and it's still delevoped under the MPL.
I think forking a project under GPLv3 it's possible, since it's a more permissive license than SPL.
Am I wrong?

It's in the FAQ and the license itself...but yes, you are right.
