[Bf-committers] Guidelines for developer logs, docs & blogs

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Douglas,

Crediting software you used for creating graphics or animations is all  
OK.

My message was for developers, to avoid mentioning in their  
documentation or logs other (non free) 3D tools as reference, as  
inspiration or as being reviewed. Don't forget that Autodesk's end- 
user agreement strictly forbids this even. I'm sure the copyright and  
license for their documentation and websites has similar statements.
