Copyright & Licensing Issues
Whilst we appreciate individuals efforts in identifying and addressing
breaches of copyright and license with the Richtext Editor, if a copyright or
licensing issue is suspected, please forward details to Austin France,
do not attempt to contact the apparent offender directly. As we are
the copyright holders of the editor, it is our responsibility to pursue any
possible breach of copyright or license.
Online Demonstrations - Relaxation of license
For the sole purposes of online demonstration of a product or service
utilizing the Richtext Editor, We will allow the about icon to be removed
from the toolbar of the Richtext Editor. All other copyright notices and
credits must however remain intact. This change to the license is being
made because we recognize the need to hide implementation details from your competitors.
Important - Virus Emails - 1st July 2003
Unfortunately it seems that a number of richtext users who have my email address in their email address books have at some point become infected with the
W32/Sobig.E virus or one of the many variants. These types
of virus generate emails to propagate themselves and disguise the sender based
on entries picked from the infected users address book.
This means that you may receive an
email that on the surface appears to have been sent by me, but it is in fact
more likely to be a virus.
I am not infected with this virus and we employ an aggressive anti-virus
policy to the extent where my machine is constantly monitored for
viruses, and every message I send or receive is scanned for viruses at 2 stages
during it's delivery (once in and out of my email client and once
at in/out of our internet email gateway).
