Some of the authors of the software provide full contact addresses (e-mail and snail), so I think CC-BY-SA tag applies; if you change it, use it, or want work done on it, then remuneration by donation is *somewhat* optional, and you cannot market the changes, because the people who provided the code did not intend it for sale. If some major distributor picked it up, or someone did a major overhaul to make it run under Windows proper, and then sold it (I suspect that UltraFractal is along those lines, because it contains a bug in the outside=atan view that was in a version of Fractint before ver. 2003), then royalties would come due, and it would be impractical to figure out who is owed how much. So, I am still thinking CC-BY-SA, and at cost or less. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
