rayimage Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 What are the license details? Could imgburn be redistributed with an application? The usage would be for writing data disks; not music, not video... Is there a fee for such usage - one-time or per user or fees voluntarily paid? This seems like it should be a FAQ but I could not find the answer by searching. I searched forums on licensing and got no useful results... just saw the windows flag waving (for a long time) like it was waiting to download.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 As it currently stands, it cannot be sold / packaged with any commercial / shareware titles. Tell me more about what you have in mind?
rayimage Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 As it currently stands, it cannot be sold / packaged with any commercial / shareware titles. Tell me more about what you have in mind? I would like to package it with commercial software to give the application the ability to save data to DVD/CD. The application could basically drive ImgBurn.exe, sending it command line switches. Perhaps we could come to some payment agreement? I prefer to speak about details offline.
linx05 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Why not provide a link to the ImgBurn website? I know there are some programs which link the lame encoder because they aren't allowed to package it.
rayimage Posted October 22, 2006 Author Posted October 22, 2006 Dear linx05 and others, My thought is (a) to give credit and $ to ImgBurn author and ( not have to burden users of an application with going out to an external web site. If you call ImgBurn "lame" , could you suggest better alternatives? As it currently stands, it cannot be sold / packaged with any commercial / shareware titles.

spinningwheel Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 If you call ImgBurn "lame" , could you suggest better alternatives? There is NO better alternative. As far as the 'lame' comment...Look HERE! ( If it's not the best, it definitely in the running...)
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Dear linx05 and others, My thought is a/ to give credit and $ to ImgBurn author and b/ not have to burden users of an application with going out to an external web site. If you call ImgBurn "lame" , could you suggest better alternatives? Time to chuck in my 2 cents, for whatever little it's worth. a/ That's a given. Afterall, nothing is free when the work of others is sold as part of a commercial package. b/ I'm in 2 minds about this. I can certainly see your point of view and I respect that. However, potential users of your software package should also know that you or your organisation are not the developers of this part of your package and they should be informed as to where this software originates. c/ Something I've just thought of :- Hypothetically, if a deal is done between yourself and Lightning_UK to include ImgBurn in a commercial venture, are you guys going to be the ones supporting the ImgBurn end of the package or are your customers going to flood this forum looking for advice on why their crappy CMC MAG media is failing? LAME is a project. It's not an opinion given to a piece of software. <Opinion mode off. Please insert 2 cents to continue..........>
blutach Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 2c inserted How "burdensome" is it for users to go to a website? (Gee 2c didn't buy me much) Regards
rayimage Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 I already knew about one kind of LAME (linux administration made easy) and even LAMP (Lnux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) but not the LAME (LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder) you mention.

linx05 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 If you call ImgBurn "lame" , could you suggest better alternatives? lol I just saw this. Classic. Sorry rayimage.
rayimage Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 There are just too many acronyms in computers to keep track of them all. I agree that its funny mistake and one easily made by someone who isn't using a computer to make music disks.
lfcrule1972 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hey it was a chortle for us all and no one thinks any worse of you so no harm done - half the stuff posted here is so don't sweat it !
