:) so in short, if we wish to use what we have downloaded prior to when Carlos went all commercial, then we are within our rights to do so. Thanks heaps Chris, for clearing this issue up for us all so quickly :) Rolfy.

(pls note... this was published on the c# forum by mistake, and i'll be removing it from there straight after this post) Hi there, I'm posting here with something that I believe is an issue that requires an administrators feedback to get resolved. See the problem is that it's a licensing issue about someone deciding to smack a license on their product after publishing here. here's a link to the forum... http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/sortedlistview.asp?select=588727&df=100&forumid=3615&msg=588727#xx588645xx I'm not writing here for validation. What I would really like is for someone to have a read, and let us all know whether someone can just retrospectively add a license in the way that this individual has attempted to do. I homestly think I'm right, that it can't be done... but it's not the first time i've been incorrect with legal stuff, so I'll give in if the administrators of this site believe that he can retro-fit a license and that I'm wrong. The one thing I'm sure of is that I'm convinced that what I'm saying is correct, and Carlos is convinced that what he's saying is correct. I think we need a little arbitration Thanks very much for any input regarding this issue. Maybe it should become a FAQ so that people are aware of what is correct and incorrect in disputes such as this? Thanks, Rolfy.
