Here is the simplified version of the skins license as I understand it. If you use an existing, copyrighted skin as the starting point for creating a new skin (modifying the graphics files), even if it is just one image file, then you may do so as long as the skin is utilized for your own personal use and are not shared with anyone else. If it "leaks" out into the public domain, then you will have the liability associated with that.
If you create all of the required images needed to make a skin from scratch, not using any of the existing skin images, then that material belongs to you and you own the copyright. What you do what that skin is up to you, so if you want to put it in the public domain, you are free to do so. Creating a new skin from scratch is fairly straightforward. Just get the image properties (height & width in pixels) for each required image and using a free graphics editor, like Paint.Net, create new images. Once you get the hang of using Paint.Net, it will not take long to create the required images. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan NV8A Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 2:18 PM To: W6SDM Steve Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] [Flexradio] Need more skin!

I modified one of the supplied skins, but if I have understood the latest copyright/license conditions correctly, such modified skins are not allowed to be distributed. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. 73 Alan NV8A _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
