Even though this all appears to be above-ground and in accordance with their Terms and Conditions, I think this could all be easily misinterpreted. To encourage you all to STAY WITHIN THEIR CONDITIONS, we'll be giving out free one-day bans to anyone breaking these rules in any way. That also means no public modifications of these icons.

That means any icon posts with Widget Widget icons in them should be in the following format, or something reasonably close:

Author: Widget Widget. Do not modify and redistribute these.
Terms and Conditions of Use

[NOPARSE]
[B]Author: Widget Widget. Do not modify and redistribute these.[/B]
[URL=http://widgetwidget.com/termsandconditions.php]Terms and Conditions of Use[/URL]
[/NOPARSE]

Otherwise, you may find yourself on the wrong edge of the ban button .

So anyway, have fun AND make sure you're obeying all the rules. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.

P.S: We'll be monitoring this thread and making sure to keep it clean--if necessary, we'll close it altogether. Don't want to clutter it up, you see .

Nice catch, gnomexp. Looks like that licence has some "holes"... It is than very bad move from WidgetWidget to make their work payware while it can be shared all over the forums... Strange, cause it seems they will make no profit from that "payware move"...

P.S. Alexander MacLean signed for Apple. That probably means - no more icon/wall updates on WidgetWidget... Also their technical support doesn't work at all.

I am a subscriber to Widget Widget, I have contacted them twice over the last few months and have not once received a reply

So, basically, as long as I link to the their terms and state the above, I can release all their icons that I have? That seems a very strange thing, been as me and others paid to get access to those icons.

I'm a little confused :

ETA, never mind, re read license - understood!

//Posts Merged. Yes, I agree it does seem confusing and contradictory, but that's how we're interpreting the license . -NC
