This is indeed quite annoying and maybe will stop tg from using yaml after all. On the positive side, not every page has to contain a backlink, quoting from yaml.de: "For the free use of the YAML framework, a backlink to the YAML homepage (http://www.yaml.de) in a suitable place (e.g.: footer of the website or in the imprint) is required." Which I understand to mean that it is enough to link back to yaml.de on a single page (e.g. imprint page) for the whole web site. What is not clear to me from http://www.yaml.de/en/license/license-conditions.html is what are the conditions of redistribution for a non-commercial situation. Say a backlink is provided on turbogears.org can the tg team bundle yaml for download in the tg distribution? If yes, tg users are required to add a backlink? Are they required to know that tg contains something which requires this?
