I'm delighted that this is being made available. However, I think the
newsletter should fix its subscription policies first. It appears that by
subscribing you agree to receive email information from Safevote or any of
its business partners. A "business partner of Safevote is an entity such
as, but not exclusively, a licenser named in the section "LICENSES AND
COPYRIGHTS" [in their legal notice] or one of Safevote's OEM, VAR or
Reseller distributors." There is no such section, though there is one
"MARKS, COPYRIGHTS, AND LICENSES". Presumably this information (who the
business partners are) changes over time.
Many enlightened firms give the option to just subscribe and receive
nothing else unless you ask for it. I'd hope that Safevote would add that
option also.
