| Hi.
I've re-thought the licence agreement for d-icons. My apologies to Sue
Pichotta of AceIcons www.aceicons.com for a misunderstanding and error on my
part about the previous licence agreement.
It seems to me that developers of 3rd party products are in a bind when it
comes to icon use. Most agreements contain wording to the effect that you
can only distribute icons as part of a work, and cannot distribute them as
icon files along with your work for others to use.
Developers of tools or template files for other developers can now
distribute d-icons with their third party tools for royalty free use by end
user clients (ie other developers).
I believe I have the most relaxed icon commercial licencing available.
From the licence file ...
---snip ---
You may not sell or re-sell D-Icons images as an icon set, distribute them
or redistribute them whether for profit or otherwise except as described in
this policy.
Given that many of the purchasers of these icon sets will be developers, you
are given permission to distribute up to 50 of these icons in 3rd party
tools designed for other developers. Your customers may include the icons
in their applications royalty free.
For example, if you created a template set for other developers that needed
an insert and a delete icon, you may distribute those icon files (and up to
48 more) to other developers for their unrestricted use. I would appreciate
but do not insist on acknowledgement as the source of the icons.
Alterations and modifications to D-Icons images are allowed. You are
provided with a blank background icon to modify and create your own icons as
you please! If you do this, however, the icons so made will be considered
part of the d-icons set and subject to this licence agreement.
---snip ---
Anyone who has already purchased any d-Icons sets may also now use them
under these new conditions.
Cheers!
