Dear Chris,
thanks a lot. I have now tested the adjusted versions.
I hate to say this, but the "(c)" sequence is a poor replacement for the
original copyright mark. The U.S. copyright law does not acknowledge the
"(c)" sequence.
I understand that you have chosen this quick fix because of the limitation
of Wine, which you are using to emulate Windows environment in Linux. Is
there a possibility that Dimitry could produce the correct versions, with
the proper copyright mark, given he is on Windows? Or could I perhaps do it?
Does it suffice that I check out certain version of FreeMind from CVS and
then compile it using Eclipse, choosing a proper target? I would do it if
you shortly advise me on how to do it.
When you are going to change the copyright mark, could you please also
change the date of the copyright, which I have overlooked before? The
correct year range is 2000-2008 instead of just 2008; different parts of the
product are copyrighted in different years.
I am willing to do all that myself, if you shortly point me out the way.
Interestingly, in the Windows max installer for 0.8.1 that you have
produced, the copyright mark was all right; only the min installer had it
broken. Is this perhaps because you have produced the maximum version of
installer on Windows instead of using Wine? Anyway.
Best regards,
Dan
