Per TAINTED hEART:
Quote - Perhaps you should have negotiated those options before you signed over usage of your work. If one gives away his/her work, one can hardly complain their wallet is bare when someone else makes a buck using said work. In other words--How is it e Frontier's fault for using what you gave them without compensating you when you gave them permission to use it without compensating you?
As far as I know, no one got "remunerated" per se, but some squeaky wheels got a copy of the software.
I was terribly busy, as usual, and didn't take the time to squeak, and then the company was sold, and apparently, my license for the pieces they borrowed for the manual was too. I never expected to see them used again.
As I said, it would have been polite and probably some form of good PR to give the contributing artists a copy of the program, but lack of politeness is not legally reprehensible.
And out of said politeness and in hopes it should gratify you, Tainted, absolutely. My bad, my stupid, my wotevah. I have been doing this for a living since 1992, and I should have known better.
There.
Meanwhile, its been a few years versions of Poser ago. I learned from the experience. I try and cleave to the sunnier side of participation, and collaborate for/with those who honor my contributions and hard work.
Moving right along,
