Yeah, that's probably for the best. >>So, now that I've written a too-long paragraph, I'm going >>to ask for your (Issac's) interpretation of this fuzzily >>defined mess? > > You might be waiting a while for that. :P > >>Anyone else who wants to chip in, I'm eager to hear from >>you, too.

Yeah. We don't encrypt anything. We look at it this way: custom development is a service, not a product. You pay us to create a tool for your use. You then rent it from us (hosting fees). If you want to buy it outright, you have to make it worth giving up the rental fees. Really, we don't charge that much more. But we do charge. If you buy it, it's yours to change, upgrade, break, or whatever. But if you want us to fix it, we charge a premium. :-> Assuming your interpretation of the BSD licence is correct (I've not read it yet) then I think this licence would work fine. So, looks like I'll start checking this out on weekends. You know, because I don't have enough to do. :-) --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX with Flash Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=51 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161292 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
