And if that's enough for font vendors, and they're happy to license the use if you put a paperclip on the door, what's wrong with putting a paperclip on the door? At any rate, I don't think it's a paperclip. It's a "no trespassing" sign. Or a "welcome all visitors" sign, or a "no soliciting" sign, depending on usage. Those are important, IMO. -Chris
