Re: Sadly, your Accessibility Tools list located on http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/complete is incorrect

Hi Richard,

The terms and conditions of the latest version of the Web Accessibility
Toolbar state:

"You may use the Web Accessibility Toolbar Software (the "Software") for
your personal or commercial use to help you determine the accessibility of
your Web content."

source: http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html

If commercial entities contact us to ask for permission to use any of the
WAT-C software, we always grant permission, but we do suggest that they make
a voluntary donation to support further development.
