    Default Licensing question

    Hi,

    My question is a general one, not related to a specific script, but since I can't post this without an url:
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/findpage.htm

    I am creating an application that loads & displays documentation files (fe JavaDoc files). I now want the viewers to be able to search through a page. One of your scripts does exactly that and I would like to use it. The problem is: I have to have the licensing information on the page with the content itself. Every page I load already has a .js file accompanied which is the same for all the documentation files generated by the tool (like JavaDoc). This means that I don't have to load the .js file because I can distribute it together with the application itself. What I would like to do is add the DD-script to the existing .js file. Since I am not able to edit the .html files themselves, I am unable to put the licensing information in there. It also wouldn't really make any sense since you wouldn't be able to view the source of the page in any way.

    I hope I am being clear, but here's a summary:
    - Have an application that loads html files, created by 3th parties
    - Want to use one of your scripts
    - Application does not have a "show source" option for html files
    - All html files already load a certain .js file that I CAN modify
    - => I want to add the script to the .js file
    - ==> This would brake the license agreement.

    What to do?

    And by the way: My application is free to download for everyone, but not open-source (although you can easily navigate to the .js file when the application is installed)

    Greets,

    Hi:
    That's fine. While the Usage Terms doesn't specifically cover what you're doing above, we always try and make exceptions based on the specific situation. Good luck!
