|Martin,i think you are issuing a license for use of your "toons"
|here.You are saying "Copyright conditions" and "copyright requirements"
|but these things are standard.Your conditions for use are what would
|be called a license not "my fair copyright conditions".Hope you
|see what I am saying.I posted a long document here in the ng about
|Copyright,look it up,its got some nice links.
|Also,i might add,it is perfectly allright to make parodies of
|any copyrighted material,even if the owner of the copyright
|doesnt approve.So even your license doesnt protect you in any
|legal way from some one making a offensive diddle or parody of
|your "toons".
|Martin,Please dont take this personaly,i am hoping more people
|than just you will read this and understand what i am saying.I
|am just using your post as a nice place to inject this message.

'------------------------

Whatever the hell it is, I don`t mind people using my characters to make up
humerous stories, so long as they are not intended to offend people or
degrade my characters. Call that a licence, a copyright, a bloody banana for
the hell I care --- that's my request and whether people choose to honour it
or not is beyond my control... although I would like to think that members
of the newsgroup would treat my creations and requests relating to them as I
have to other artists' work over the few years I have been here.

Amen.
