The Docs group some time ago decided that it's really not an issue and we are not worrying about WindowsXP pix. Indeed we are not worrying about Windows 7 pix, though we mostly avoid them when possible. As Tom notes, legal opinion differs on this topic. I choose to ignore it... especially where WindowsXP is concerned.
In other words, feel free to replace all the pix in the Calc Guide for v3.4; that's certainly a good thing to do, but IMO not by any means essential. --Jean On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 15:41, Gabriel Godoy <[email protected]> wrote: > Tom, > Thanks for the warning. > That being the case, I'll go back on my steps to replace the screenshots. > But we should let the entire community know about this matter.
