Re: License conditions Re: aDesigner - was Re: Bobby - a bad tool

OK, this is the good news that was not at all clear in the process of
getting the software and reading the license. Thanks for clarifying it.

I don't know how long it would take, but it might be nice to provide the
feedback that the license, or even better the download procedure, should
clarify how to do this.

(It might be interesting feedback to note that unless the license is
presented in font at least 10pt it is not valid in Australia anyway. I'm
not sure what the font-size setting is in general, but when I downloaded
it I got something more like 7 point).

Cheers

(Actually I think I understand and like the point of alphaworks - this is
about the license, as noted in the subject :-)
