I agree; a link in the code is a good compromise. Beyond that, this is a training issue if this is truly relevant to your company, Federico. Otherwise, you can create a deployment script that removes these components. -Matt On Fri, May 9, 2008 8:23 am, Matthew Weier O'Phinney wrote: Let's be

Hi Till, I think you've just made my point, we should try to reduce assumptions as much as possible. What you said about the API key forcing the user to accept the terms and conditions sounds great, but it's not always like that. That's why I mentioned Audioscrobbler. On Thu, May 8, 2008 at
