I willing to do that creative commons license if it makes people feel more comfortable. Ill have a look and see what's involved.
I fully understand the requirement to protect yourself. Very good topic that I have to date just taken for granted. I just always assumed that if I put it out there its yours to do with as you wish. Id hate for people *not* to use this stuff for these kinds of reasons, it goes against why I write about it in the first place. Jason -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de engkee Envoyé : mardi 6 février 2007 21:31 À : [email protected] Objet : [flexcoders] Intellectual property or licensing of posted/blogged work I have to commend you all for posting a lot of wonderful components and extensions to Flex... eg. Ely's calendar, Doug and Jason's tab navigator extensions, Ben and Trey's reflection effect, Alex's distortion effect, just to name a few. Unfortunately, in these day and age, I would have to ask... am I allowed to incorporate those wonderful works in commercial products? Am I even allowed to look at the source code, if I work for a company producing commercial software, without violating some IP issues. Most of them are not explicitly associated with any specific licensing terms. Sure would be nice if there could be some standard practice of associating these works with a common license, eg. the Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/) Maybe there already is some presumed license or disclaimer for "published" works. If so, please send a pointer. Just a thought. -Engkee
