Hi, I looking for an opensource forum to use in commercial setting and is wondering how the GPL v2 and misago license will go with using the forum under an subscription website? Will I be needing to send source code to users of web app? And will I have to give source code of all of the app including my own project?
Great work!

You can use Misago to run your site just fine. GPLv2 conditions apply only if you decide to distribute the code. And I'm not one of those crazies that consider interacting with the site through the browser as distributing the code.
