Smallest request ever: Use 'real' copyright text logo

Post by budz45 »

here it is:
©

in bigger font:
©

Pierre, it would be nice if you could copy this and add to the 'About' screens in next/future releases of XnView products. Better than writing it in brackets as (C)

Yes for all XnView programs (mp, xnshell etc). It would look nicer somehow and XnView deserves it :wink:

Just to write it as: ©

Indeed, usage of (c) apparently has no legal meaning in the US.

Some copyright attorneys say that using verbiage like "Copyright (c) 2010" can actually invalidate a copyright claim . . . or at least make it far more difficult and expensive to enforce.

If Pierre cannot use © for some reason, it would be better to just use "Copyright 2010" which is an enforceable copyright claim.
