Dear Mark, My name is Jeremy Bilien and I have been designing widgets for Mac's Dashboard ever since Tiger came out. I'm writing because I'd like your permission to use your "Script to parse RSS XML data files" & "Script to import XML data files and make them available to JavaScript" A few months ago I decided to share the knowledge I had accumulated and put together a free ware package called "Widget Creator". This package is made up of different templates that let users design their own widgets easily, even if they know next to nothing about Dashboard widgets. After uploading this freeware to various Mac sites I was contacted by Bryan Goldstein who sought my permission to include Widget Creator in his WCode cocoa application. WCode helps users create widgets from start to finish and is a very impressive application for a 15 year-old to create. We decided to combine our expertise and our passion for Mac and Dashboard to create something together that merges WCode and Widget Creator. We're in the process of doing so and, as mentioned at the beginning of my email, I'd really like your permission to use those scripts in our "Dashboard widget template" . Of course full credit for your script would be given and I can guarantee that any widget created using our product would provide a hyperlink to your website in addition to clearly indicating your name on the flipside. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your answer. Jeremy
I have not included my response here because there is no single answer to this kind of question. I will consider every such request on a case-by-case basis.
If you have a similar request, please see the notes on using my scripts as part of a bundled software package.
