May I say you got that wrong?
The license is ment for developers going to implement the command into
theire own programs. Then I would like to have some notice from where the
commands originally came from.
I never sayed or wrote that you have to note something when you use the
commands in models or parts (even if this would be wise to do, since people
might not know what type of commands these are, so a notice telling what it
is would not be bad anyway).
The other end is that you might have recogniced that I have been founding a
company on my own. And I am still providing MLCad for free, but some
regulations have to be done, to protect myself. And from a company you never
will get something without a license agreement.
I believe my license agreement on the MLCad command extensions for
developers is not the worst thing here, I just like to mention the
regulations regarding the part library, which still prevent that software is
bundled with it. Thats bad!
I hope I could clarify things now ....
Regards,
Michael
