Hi Jaak, thanks for the feedback... On 12/29/18 5:39 PM, Jaak Ristioja wrote: > Why can't the About= entry contain this information?
The About= entry does contain this information right now, but it usually contains too much information for a nice, short, description for a UI to display instruction how to obtain an unlock code. The About= usually has a ton of copyright and usage info, especially for a locked module. > I'm unsure whether "UnlockInfo" is the best name.

Yes > Using HTML might be a can of worms: This is defined in our wiki: "Some allow HTML <a href="xxx">label</a>hypertext links. HTML is not allowed otherwise." http://wiki.crosswire.org/DevTools:conf_Files Lookup up this in our wiki, I found an entry which I am not sure where it came from. I have checked out repo and don't see any instances. It looks like it was added to the wiki by Osk and could have been from a conversation I had with him years ago, but I don't remember: UnlockURL= Regardless, I would still like to move forward with the here proposed UnlockInfo, as it gives the publishers an opportunity include verbiage in addition to a link.
