I don't understand your comment, Ruslan in a previous response said
he really liked the idea and I was just agreeing with him that I like
it too. To quote Ruslan...

Realbasic  is a tool and so is Valentina. Realbasic uses the
basic language and valentina uses SQL. Realbasic includes
libraries in the end application and so does valentina. Your
distinction here between the usage of realbasic and
valentina is an artificial one, so why would the logo issue
be different?

The opt-in strategy like the made with REALBasic program is
a very good idea and should be adopted for valentina.
