[V4RB] Valentina Logo and Copyright info

[Yennie at aol.com]

Just to chime in on this one item: not only is a compiled application not 
necessarily more secure, but often troublesome to require. For example, with 
VXCMD I can distribute a standalone compiled application that reveals the 
serial in a plain text editor if I don't secure my scripts (optional in 
xCards). I can also distribute a stack (i.e. non-compiled "document" form) 
which *is* secure. Of course the reverse is true of each: I can easily create 
secure applications and non-secure document files.

IOW, "compiled" might want to be redefined. If you really want, you could 
provide serial-limited versions of Valentina products- i.e. a Valentina 
library which accepts only ONE serial number given to specific licensee. That 
way, if someone stole the serial it would only work if they were willing to 
also lug around the exact file which came with it.

This would be more work- Ruslan would have to cut a whole bunch of individual 
libraries for licensed users' products, but I think it may be more to the 
point than a "compiled" app clause.

Personally I'd vote for neither, or even a clause which prohibits including 
the serial in plain text anywhere in a file regardless of implementation- 
that would at least give the developer a little more flexibility.

FWIW.
