Dear Framers! 3 years ago I ordered and got an ExtendScript according to my specifications for which I paid quite an amount. The author placed a note in the script:
// Copyright 2013, Author.Company.Com. All rights reserved. May I (as purchaser of a specific work) use this work as a base for own work which I then offer to the public on my website? With all this plagiarism discussion in the back of my neck: When using other people's work (which normally does not contain any copyright notice) I have started to include a note such as: Based on xxx.jsx (http://...). fo example: function FindAndReplaceString (activeDoc, findString, replaceString, loopMax) // Source: Russ Ward in https://forums.adobe.com/message/3888653#3888653 I have seen © notices in script souce such as the following - which is clear to allow what I intend to do: // © 2010 Matt Di Pasquale // // Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy // of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal // in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights // to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell // copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is // furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: // // The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in // all copies or substantial portions of the Software. But such long statements are rare. The script example is 90 lines, of which the complete © notice is 20 lines. We all build our work with the help from others - or we need to close all forums. IMHO it is fair use to state the source of the bricks which I use to build a new script. But does this violate the claims of the author mentioned on top? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Docu + Design Daube; Schäracher 11; CH-8053 Zürich Technical documentation & consultancy; On-line and paper F: +41-44-422 86 25 E: [email protected] W: www.daube.ch _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
