That would be great! I think the powered by pngs are still fun, for historical reference at least.

Its far easier to say "all logos on this website are licensed under blablabla" then it is to hunt for all grammatical differences. As for the merchandise clause, it isn't realistic. We've never gone after any of the merchants, and I don't think any of them ever asked. The previous email that was listed, [email protected] didn't even work for the longest time :) This has worked for about 20years now, so I think its fine though :] -Hannes -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
