Re-branding & license

Unread post by Bixit » 2021-05-24, 23:43

Hi,

I have a question regards to branding Basilisk browser for re-distribution. Do I have to remove references to 'Moonchild' as defined in vendorShortName & CompanyName
And where to do I find the description that is in the About dialog?

Many thanks for such a wonderful browser! :clap:

Since you're not Moonchild, the answer is yes: if you re-brand you MUST make clear I am not the vendor and that the browser is not published by Moonchild Productions.

Examine the branding files. It's all pretty straight-forward where what is.

And application.ini. It is not reasonable for new forks to use the same appdata.
