But if I read the legal texts trying to be objective (and again, not being a lawyer!) it is normal that doubts arise. If I generate a validation software that includes validation rules from the archetype constraints, that is arguably an adaptation, not just a use. And it is also important to note that if you sell a software you are also publicly sharing it. Publicly share does not imply for free, but outside of a personal use. I fully support the comments of Grahame. Probably the solution is to go just for the simpler option and don't worry about what others do with their own business. -- David Moner Cano Grupo de Inform?tica Biom?dica - IBIME Instituto ITACA http://www.ibime.upv.es http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmoner Universidad Polit?cnica de Valencia (UPV) Camino de Vera, s/n, Edificio G-8, Acceso B, 3? planta Valencia - 46022 (Espa?a) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
