    Hi,


    To Mods : I wasn't too sure where to post this so please move it if there's a better category for this

    I was considering releasing this tutorial script for free and had 2 questions which I wanted to ask you guys.

    1. Footer Links
    I wanted to put footer links in the script to increase backlinks to my site. Keeping these in tact would be the condition of using the script. I was thinking of putting 4 in there. Would this be too many? Something like:

    2. Changes & Distribution
    I want to allow the user to change the script if they want, but NOT redistribute the script in any shape or form. How would I go about doing this? Do I just state it as an agreement before allowing them to download the script?

    This is the first time I'm releasing a full script like this so I'd appreciate any input :)


    Thanks,

    Hodge

    1) probably just 2 would be best

    2) Make sure it is clearly stated in terms and conditions anybody redistributing and or removing footer links will face legal action.
