Crediting CSUAC
Hi,
I've got a printed product in work that uses some CSUAC symbols. Alas, out on my hard drive I have more than one CSUAC EULA. They have conflicting versions of how I am to credit CSUAC. Does anyone have up-to-date information on that?
Otherwise, I don't see much alternative to simply removing all CSUAC symbols from the work...shouldn't be that much effort, really. I don't think that any of them are irreplacable. There's a ton of symbols available from the archives for the dundjinni forums (many of which are also in the CSUAC collection, I think).
thanks
Lee

I regret deleting it
I am new to the forum and I have a related question.
What is ProFantasy's EULA and distribution crediting requirement for works created using their software? Say I make something using the WWII Atlas and put it in a book that is intended to be commercially published. Is that allowed? Do I have to cite the use of the software or is there another requirement?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Chris
In short, everything (with a few exceptions, found in the last two paragraphs) you can publish anything you create with our software, without asking or crediting us.
