Does anyone have any suggestions for an open source auction script in PHP/MySQL?

I don't really have any idea of what features I want but any suggestions are welcome.

I would prefer it to be licensed under GNU/GPL but other licences is fine and also if the script is really good I would be willing to pay up to about $300 for it providing I get source access with that.
Do you need it to be a plugin for MyBB?

This might be a useful part of it..?
Umm, I know of one for IPB Toungue.

And, I found this one with a quick search. Don't know how good it is or anything but it's gpl.

Most are under the gpl. There is one under the mpl.

Btw any software under the GPL is not open source,but free software. There are big differences Wink.

If you want a truly open source license look at the MIT/X11 license Wink.
GPL is open source what are you talking about?

Oh and might I note im not a free software or open source hater.

I just hate when I see gpled software called open source or software under lets say the mit license called free software... It annoys me ..

No, not at all. If I do decide to have a forum on the site I'll have separate logins.

Basically I am looking for recommendation here, I can find plenty myself but its hard to know without spending a lot of time testing them what are the good ones.

Well then I apologize Blush. Although the gpl seems to also follow the definition of open source.
