It's interesting that copyright holders feel it's necessary to force people to advertise their software. What happened to making your software good enough that word of mouth happens on its own, and people advertise your software because they want to? It's also interesting to note that this requires that you advertise "powered by Maia Mailguard", even if you've modified the software in incompetent ways. It's the opposite of a renaming clause--it essentially prohibits renaming. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
