In this particular case, what you did was perfectly fine: your quick online test was temporary, and couldn't be saved back to the server, so it couldn't spread to others in any way. Also, it didn't contain any absolute references to http://www.TiddlyTools.com, so no persistent deep-linking would occur, even if the tiddler were to somehow be copied by others. > And maybe I read too much into this, but now I really feel insecure if > a download of images/california.gif, I realize that it can be confusing as to which things are OK to copy and which aren't. In general, it's my intent to allow people to make *local* copies of most of the images used on TiddlyTools.com, including california.gif (which is actually just a slightly modified version of a publicly available image). However, there are a few notable exceptions... specifically, you shouldn't copy the *photographic* image files that I've used as backgrounds for various TiddlyTools Themes: sunset.jpg (Edge of Night), fish.jpg (Let's Get Tanked!), ocean.jpg (Surf's Up), as well as any other photo images (e.g., meow2.jpg, JR+ELS.jpg, etc.) that may be displayed within tiddler content. These images are part of my creative portfolio and should only be duplicated after requesting explicit permission on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the ELS Design Studios logo (i4logo.gif) is, obviously, a professional servicemark, as explained in the "trademarks/ servicemarks" section here: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#LegalStatements > to make such a test possible now on my drive For the limited purposes of testing and evaluation, it is sometimes useful to *temporarily* make a local copy of an image file that should not, in other circumstances, be copied without specific permission. In general, this is acceptable, as long as the local copy is completely removed after testing is completed, and the file is not replicated, passed along to others, or published online. > Sorry again, and I hope you are feeling fine. Although I greatly appreciate your taking a serious view of this issue, there was never any 'offense' taken.... so no apology is really needed. In fact, perhaps *I* should apologize to you for causing undue concern about your completely reasonable and proper testing activities. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
