| Subject | Request for permission to bundle caps lock detector with a software package |
| Date | 14 November 2007 17:40 |
Hi, Your caps lock detector is great! I'm working on releasing a new edition of the PHP [productname] ( [URL]), which is an OSS web-based time clock system, and would love to include the caps lock detector as a new feature. Can I have permission to bundle the script with the software package? Thanks, Jacob Allred
I have not included my response here because there is no single answer to this kind of question. I will consider every such request on a case-by-case basis.
If you have a similar request, please email me with the details of your project including:
- What script you want to use
- What your project is designed to do
- What are the terms of your licensing agreement - open source licenses (GPL or equivalent are not compatible) preferred, but all licenses (except GPL or equivalent) will be considered
- What is your target audience
- What is the URL of your project page, so I can take a look at what you have done so far
If I allow you to use the script, I will probably impose some conditions, such as:
- Holding you responsible for ensuring that your version of my script is kept up-to-date (you can use my RSS feed to be notified when the script changes)
- Ensuring that my site is quoted as the original source of the script so that your customers will know where they can download originals if they want them
- Ensuring that customers are aware that my script components are provided free of charge
Although it is unlikely, I reserve the right to refuse to allow you to use the script.
