I put it here due to it being a developer's information
Some of you may or may not know that about 4 years ago American Airlines demanded Flightsim.com (and possibly other sites) to remove any plane that had a livery that AA owned. Since then, AA has "allowed" the flighsim community to release their liveries. If you do release one, I guess you have to put a disclaimer in the readme file.
The reason I mention this is the current battle involving copyright infringments on an other site. I would hate to Pete be forced to remove planes because of something this stupid. For info and the copyright statement go to

This is effectively a dead issue now. About 3 years ago - what was 'Papa Tango' (subsequently AKA World Air Simulations) tried to buy the rights for the use of airline logos on FS products. Any freeware developer would have to BUY a licence to use the logo in any release (so freeware real airline addons could have become extinct).... Flightsim.com was rolled in to work with Papa Tango - in what would have become a joint commercial venture had it worked out ... but the uproar among the FS community & worldwide calls for boycotting Papa Tango - even peaking at life threats against Peter Tishma - 'Papa Tango' boss ... persuaded them to drop the idea...
..
This all resulted in flightsim.com being told by AA lawyers to include that silly comment as a condition of use of the AA logo in freeware releases ..
For the rest of the FS community it's irrelevant & just let these guys try anything like that again ....
.. one little additional comment : I go by the wishes of the authors - not lawyers ... or even judges. The authors call the shots.
Think Global. It's the world we live in.
