Which is OK, isn't it? We offer to spare them some work, all they have to do is ask. If they don't want to, they have to (legally) get pictures elsewhere. You can't force people to exclusively use the set of images that you provide, because then we're talking about censorship, something I don't want to see FG involved in. > They'll then > just start up fgfs and make a non-antialiased screenshot of the > c172p in KSFO with default weather.

What use is there in distributing shiny made up ad photos, if its hard for users to get the very same on their own screen. Its a bit of a false promise. Note that I'm deliberately taking very strong opposition here, to inspire thought. My personal opinion is not that extreme. Anyway your solution in effect is the same that I proposed earlier (explicitly grant permission for certain defined uses only) :-) Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
