Hello Richard,
Today All RunRev requires is
(last I heard anyway):
This product was made with Revolution
Portions Copyright 2006 Runtime Revolution Ltd.
I don't object to including of a copyright notice in
*MY* splash-screen, and definitely in the About and
other docs, but the issue is whether we have to use
Rev's splash instead of our own CUSTOM splash screen.
When did anyone ever say that?
I hear the sound of straws being grasped so as to drag this thread out
longer than would be truly required....
I see nothing "natural" about choosing a tool
and then being ashamed of your own choice.
MetaCard and Rev are a hard sale.
You're not a reseller, and no one's asking you to become one.
A simple copyright notice doesn't seem all that cumbersome; hardly
merits this much fuss.
What *I* like, versus what my customers *expect*, are
TWO different matters.
If you have customers who care that much about the underlying technology
to have specific complaints about a given tool, the choice seems simple:
find a tool to satisfy such a finicky audience, or find a less finicky
audience.
My customers don't seem to care what tool I use, they just like what I
deliver with it.
A vendor has a legitimate right to request
a simple copyright notice in exchange for
accomplishing the other 90% of your application.
This isn't what is objectionable [toi me]. I'm okay
with including a copyright notice in the About, and
other docs too; perhaps even in *my* splash screens,
albeit in very small print.
The issue is whether we can create our own custom
standalone 'players', with our own custom splash
screen, for the editable stacks that we craft for our
customers.
Kevin clarified this, and Ken recapped it. That was this morning. It's
now well into the evening. Did you miss this morning's mail?
In short, there would appear no problem with what you describe. The
archives from this morning carry the details.
Sorry for giving you such a hard time
about this, Kevin,
[email protected] is not Kevin's address.
Kevin's address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for the info. I was assuming that Kevin was on
THIS list, as well as any other [mail] list that deals
I'm sure he reads this list when he gets to it. But so do many others,
and none of those others can help you.
If you're merely looking for an audience for your latest reiteration of
why you dislike Rev's licensing I suppose you've found a captive
audience here.
But if you're looking for results you have Kevin's address by which to
seek them.
