Michael I don't recall the earlier discussions, but are you sure you're interpreting TEN's terms correctly. The text you've quoted is from their ground rules for developers, and clearly it forbids you, the developer, from registering for multiple keys. But it seems odd that this rule should force all the end users to share your key. Are you sure this rule forbids you from providing your end users with a way to enter their own keys (like we do, for instance, with bpa's 'Find Cover Art' plugin)? Has this been clarified with TEN? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97668 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
