[Gvsig_english] French help for GvSIG

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Fabian,

I understand what you are saying.

My understanding is that although the program is released as open source 
the actual variation released by Generalitat Valenciana is covered by 
copyright.

This means, at least in Australia, that I must get permission to make 
images of the logo and software. Although under fair use provisions 
under the copyright act I can extract some images for review and 
criticism. Copying most, if not all dialogs, may not be considered fair use.

I always find it useful to ask and get permission.

I have actually done this over the last few days, on this list, but no 
one has replied. I have a desire to prepare some tutorials relevant to 
Australia and would like permission to present various dialogs, like you 
have done so well, in my documents. So far no one has answered. 
Probably;y because gvSIG is actively working on a English manual themselves.

Cheers Simon
