Question about the copyright notice

Post by Ruth »

I have the notice commented on all my pages, but it's the old one with all the explanations referring to the free for whatever sites and stuff. So, what exactly do you want put up? Just the lines in the milonic_src file?

For the folks who put just the JS calls on their pages, I believe nothing else is necessary there. However, if they put actual menu code in with the HTML, then the entire copyright notice, as is contained in the comments at the top of the code files, should be added.

Regardless of whether the copyright is placed in the HTML or not, it MUST be left in all three of the menu code files, as it states within that section...
All Copyright statements must always remain in place in all files at all times...
Removal of these copyright notices is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention illegal.

Just for reference, the latest version, which folks will always have when they post new code, is...

Self-explanatory, I think. All versions of the software in use, free and up, must be licensed.

As for the license number, just placing it in the _src file should be sufficient.

Well, I have to tell you, I do it because it's a real learning experience....helps me learn how to either do something or figure a workaround. Especially since I don't believe, unless you guys had infinite time to do the menu, that it could be coded to do everything we all ask that it do, :) , So, helping actually helps us learn how to work things. But, I appreciate the thanks.
