You see I dont agree, as the statement the author provides is open ended. Say
I want to use the icons commercially, there is nothing preventing me from
doing so once I pay the fee and sign a contract that allows me to
resdistribute them at will. Its the later point that is imperative not the
former.
Statement made by the author are typical of authors who want compensation.
Thats OK with me, same for Skyrix. They deserve it. There is nothing in the
few words posted by the author that would prevent me from negotiating a
contract for a fee that would allow me to distribute the icons once paid for
at will. It may cost me losts, but it can be made to work.
Is it needed, is an entire other question. My point was simply this. Dont let
this minor statement discourage anyone from contacting the author to see
whats up based on the above statements. You should not be discourage by some
one seeking compensation. Rather make it so that both parties win.
