Thanks Alex, I will then include the screenshots and the app in showcase. We could then withdraw them easily in case someone complains.

But Erick is probably not wrong about the taking of screenshots either. My thought experiment is this: If I was hired to paint the outside of a TV studio with a particular brand of paint, I think it is ok for folks to take pictures of me doing that and not have to obfuscate the paint bucket that has the paint brand on it and post it on their facebook sites. But that doesn't mean the paint manufacturer as the right to say that TV studio is a customer on their website because that can sound like an endorsement. -Alex On 12/18/13 5:12 AM, "Maurice Amsellem" <maurice.amsel...@systar.com> wrote: >Thanks, Eric, >But Apache tends to "wary" about legal stuff, so I prefer to ask for >team advice. > >Maurice > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : rx labz [mailto:rxl...@gmail.com] De la part de Erick Ghaumez >Envoyé : mercredi 18 décembre 2013 13:39 À : dev@flex.apache.org Objet >: Re: Flex Showcase legal aspects > >Hi, > >i'm working on this project, and since it's a public website, i think >it's absolutly not illegal to display screenshots. > >Erick > >Le 18 déc. 2013 à 13:34, Maurice Amsellem <maurice.amsel...@systar.com> >a écrit : > >> Hi, >> >> A few app submissions (eg.
