Hello
I am *curious* to hear what you all think about Zope, openSource and credits...
Surely a minimum reasonable requirement / idea is that real zope sites, especially those used in the commercial or media worlds should carry some kind of logo/Zope_id/promo somewhere, even if not loudly on the home page where screen_estate is at premium?
Number 3 of the ZPL (Zope Public License) under which Zope is released states the following: "Digital Creations requests that attribution be given to Zope in any manner possible. Zope includes a "Powered by Zope" button that is installed by default. While it is not a license violation to remove this button, it is requested that the attribution remain. A significant investment has been put into Zope, and this effort will continue if the Zope community continues to grow. This is one way to assure that growth." My understanding is that it used to be required, but that was a turn off to some, so they "reduced" it to a request. _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc. rbickers@logicetc.com
