Nope, you don't have to advertise for Mentor Graphics Here are the terms:
4. PROMOTION. Participant agrees to promote the integration between the ODB++ Format and the Participant Products by: (i) joining the ODB++ Solutions Alliance as a “solutions development partnering” member, via the ODB++ Website, including providing a quote about Participant’s ODB++ Format implementation for use in Mentor Graphics’ promotional materials and on the ODB++ Website; (ii) allowing Mentor Graphics to use Participant’s logo in Mentor Graphics promotional materials and on the ODB++ Website; (iii) including a brief factual statement on the ODB++ Format implementation in Participant’s promotional materials and a link from Participant’s website to the ODB++ Website; (iv) making a visible acknowledgement in the Participant’s Products (user-interface and documentation) of the support received from Mentor Graphics under this Agreement for the implementation of the ODB++ Format; and (v) agreeing to the publication by Mentor Graphics of the existence of Participant’s membership in the ODB++ Solutions Alliance. I highly doubt Altium and Cadence (both large EDA developers) would be supporting ODB++ if they have to advertise their competitor. Its just really slapping the logo on the supported products page for ODB++ and some marketing FUD for ODB++ because they really want it to take off for some reason. http://www.odb-sa.com/partners/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
