This is in the US, and I assume Richard is in the UK. > why do people use powered by and in what context Promotion, of the thing they're 'powered by', I would think. If I made a kick-ass public site using someone else's stuff, it would be nice to be able to say they help with it. The license of the 'powered by' item may also *require* such a notice (i.e. 'creative commons attribution share-alike') or prohibit one(!). > what is the best way to add these (including the copyright) to your software Ask a lawyer :-) Followed by a copy writer (someone who edits, not the other sense!). I'd be tempted, as my/our code is in a source control system that can prove when we created it, to just go with something simple, in which case either of "FooApplication, powered by BazFramework. Copyright Something #year(now())#." or "FooApplication, copyright Something #year(now())#. Powered by BazFramework." Some 'powered by' items include icons/buttons too, which may look nice if they fit the theme of your site - but check if you are allowed to use them without permission and/or modify them. -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
