Andre, we are also not happy with the encryption. But we had the problem with our first version (with open javascripts) that we found our code in several projects of people who did not purchased our software. And we have the problem such as many others that we must have to make money with our software. On the other side many of our customers customize their SVG-projects which are exported with MapViewSVG (you can find several examples on our homepage). We help these people in that case that we give them informations about functions in our javascripts they need for their project. We offer no free version of MapViewSVG but an evaluation version, to test the functionality before purchasing. If someone use only the export of MapViewSVG for his own projects, without purchasing the Software is also not allowed. To develop this export functionality was/is also very cost intensive. Only by purchasing the software these costs can be minimized and results in improvements and new versions of MapviewSVG. But we apreciate that you use our product in your workshops.
