Just at present I am running a small English language
school which caters to 5-8 year-old Bulgarians. Parents pay
me to teach their kids Bulgarian - and, despite my best
efforts, the little boys and girls somehow manage to learn
the language :)
Now I have 3 "tatty old PCs" at one end of the schoolroom
running Ubuntu Linux 5.10 and on these I have a whole
series of RR stacks using Richard Gaskin's stack Runner
(Thanks) and a few standalones hived-off the Novell Free RR
2.2.1 (the majority have to work with StackRunner because
RR 2.2.1 for Linux seriously screws up sound files). The
few authored as standalones via RR 2.2.1 have custom splash
screens (admittedly highly goofy ones featuring the basic
vocabulary items related to the English classes.
The question is, am I breaking RR's new rules about
customised splash screens (that contain NO acknowledgement
of RR - although there is a large sheet of paper on the
wall pointing out that all the programs I use have been
authored using Runtime Revolution) that have been
handed-down after my work was completed? And, as I am using
what are outdated development tools am I now supposed to
abide by RR's new rules or the ones contained in the
license agreements attached to the products I use?
Further, perhaps, to this, I do not market my products as
such, and do not in anyway undertake to produce a stated
number of computer programs per English course I run.
Nobody else has access to my programs (especially as Ubuntu
Org went "all funny" about Open Source when I offered them
my programs for Free).
Sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
