we can only ship support for online services which allow us to do so. that means they have allow for us to redistribute applications that use that service in a fairly unrestricted fashion. we are completely Ok with falling in line with requirements like "can't access the service more than once every N minutes" or "must show an attribution link that can be clicked to bring up additional information from our website". but free redistribution of our software is a requirement. if that's not possible, then the download-a-javascript-via-the-GetHotNewStuff- window will be the fallback answer. :) -- Aaron J.
