And therein lies the rub. If I, say, create an app that uses the Google API it's linked to my Google developer id. If I then distribute that app, my developer id is responsible for *all* those accumulated queries. If my app becomes wildly popular and 1001 people use it once in a single day, every single one of those copies will stop working. AND every other app I have created using my developer id will also stop working. It gets worse. If I create a library making it easier to use the Google api from, say, revolution, then every copy of that library is linked to *my* developer id. And every use of that library counts against not just me, but any app that has been created using my id. It's the sort of tech support nightmare that shied me away from ever wanting to sign up for the developer program. I actually have valid reasons for wanting to use the api in a couple of applications, but those restrictions would kill them. I'd have to make sure that nobody used the apps in order to ensure that they worked... -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
