DesktopX 3.0 Pro is Great but...

Can I sell my widgets?

Published on March 16, 2005 By SuiteLife In DesktopX

Okay,
I got my license for DesktopX 3.0 Pro and love it. It works so much more smoothly than DesktopX 2.x. I think I can safely say as of at least now that Desktop X 3.0 Pro runs as smooth if not smoother than Konfabulator with the set-up I currently have in run-time mode. (Not the developer/builder mode.)

I was reading through the documentation and licenses that are attached to DesktopX 3.0 Pro and it states that I basicly fully own the Gadgets that I create with DesktopX 3.0 Pro so long as I own the graphics or legally have a licnese for them. Is this correct? Can I sell DesktopX 3.0 Pro Gadgets I create if parts of the graphics and scripts are licensed from other people, meaning I have the okay and legal release from the original owners to commercially use the graphics? I just want to make sure I understand the license wording correctly. I am in NO WAY trying to STEAL from ANY ONE.

Also, can I sell the widgets I create with DesktopX 3.0 Pro? Since I can sell the Gadgets, I don't see why I can't sell the widgets, expecially since it would generate more sales of DesktopX 3.0 Client and Standard licenses for Stardock. I was thinking of launching a FREE and a Premium line of Widgets.

Please comment in any way to can.

Since it seems like I can sell anything else I make with a Stardock product. Example, Windowblinds Skins/Themes and ObjectDock Themes. (Through I have never seen anybody sell Objectdock Themes.)

The license agreement on the page is the correct one.

Ok. But if I click agree in the installation file I got, doesn't that bind me to the license agreement in the setup file? I'm a bit wary about agreeing to any sort of agreements, hence all these questions.

Maybe Stardock can release a mini "patch"/"update" to update the installer to include the licensing changes. I know how it can be sometimes. You are so excited about releasing a new version that you forget to update the legal stuff. And we all know that is the best and most favorite part right?

That would be nice. I really do not feel like clicking the agree button. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Stardock would cause me problems if I did, but there I some things I prefer to get right. And license agreements, contracts and such are matter I want to get right.
