Hi Yuv, Just to help you stay away from the dark side, here's what I made of the text fileinstaller_licence.txt: _____________
Copyright (C) 2006-2009 Pablo d'Angelo. Additional Authors see AUTHORS.txt files in the documentation. Built and packaged for binary redistribution 2009/07/26 by Allard. UPGRADES This version of Hugin is backwards compatible, and there should not be good reasons to keep using the previous stable version. If you wish to do so however, it is possible to install them side-by-side. If not, please uninstall the previous version before running this installer. SHELF-LIFE Hugin is under constant development, and the code evolves rapidly. Nevertheless, stable releases like this are not very frequent. If you are looking for newer features or the latest cutting edge development snapshots, and are willing to accept all the risks involved, look for them at Yuval Levy's page: <http://panospace.wordpress.com/downloads/ >. New stable releases will be announced on the hugin home page: <http://hugin.sf.net/> DISCLAIMER The programs in this installer are tested to some extent, but they may not work as expected.

I'm not very well informed about the exact legal implications of the patent situation, so it would be great if someone can confirm this won't get the hugin project into trouble. Except for patent lawyers I haven't met any Windows user (including myself) who actually reads licence agreements, so I guess that part is the only thing that matters.
