Once you fill in the template with detailed +information about a specific project, you are free to do what you +want with them in the context of that project. ***You may even hide the +template copyright statement***: the best way to do that is to edit the +file inst.css. + +#### Can I modify these templates for use on several projects at my company? + +Yes, absolutely. You may modify and distribute these templates to +others, so long as you retain this file and the footnote with the +copyright statement clearly visible in each file. + +#### Can I include these templates as part of a commercial product? + +If you use the templates and fill in details about a given product, +go ahead. If you are thinking of making a product that includes the +templates for use *as templates*, you must retain this file and the +copyright statement in a visible footnote. An enhanced commercial +version of these templates, [ReadySETPro](http://www.readysetpro.com/), +is already in development + +#### Can I combine these templates with other templates or documents? + +Sure, go ahead. This license is not "viral", it does not mean that +anything you do must be open source or covered under the +same license. + +#### If I enhance the templates, must I give those enhancements back to the open source project? + +No, but it would be very welcome. Even if you don't modify the +templates, you can share your "words of wisdom". For more +information on contributing, see the +[ReadySET home page](http://readyset.tigris.org/). + +#### ReadySET seems too good to be true. What is the catch? Why would anyone buy a commercial version? + +There is no catch. However, the scope of ReadySET is limited to only +most common needs of development projects. It is easy to get started +with ReadySET, but [ReadySET Pro](http://www.readysetpro.com/) holds +much more value for corporate users. diff --git a/_Footer.md b/_Footer.md index bc85f14..899a663 100644 --- a/_Footer.md +++ b/_Footer.md @@ -1,6 +1,5 @@ ---- ::Your-Organization Proprietary -Copyright 2003-2004 Jason Robbins.
