Question:

nopCommerce currently uses TelerikMVC Extensions which have server-side wrappers for client side code that is free to use for open source projects.

    You have two options:

    1. Continue using Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. If you don’t need
      any features of Kendo UI you don’t need to upgrade at all.

    2. Use Kendo UI Web GPL. Yes, you would need to write JavaScript
      instead of C# code.
