You need the logo, anyway, for your Web site, ad banners, business cards, and so on. Given the logo, other donation-ware is fairly straightforward. > And I'd say you still risk being > slapped with 4.5 (Non-compete - thou shall not put stuff on the market > to sell stuff outside the market). You really need to consult qualified legal counsel. IANAL, but IMHO 4.5 does not mean what you think it means. That is the "anti-Al Sutton" clause, prohibiting you from distributing on the Market a client for a competing market. > Of course, enabling stuff in the game as thanks for the donation would > run into 3.3 (bypassing the payment processor).

The closer you get to enabling app features, the more likely it is the TOS will be a problem. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in London: http://skillsmatter.com/go/os-mobile-server -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
