Hello.
I'm creating an application which uses Argyll. I've read (I think
carefully) all the licensing stuff, but I'd like to double-check with
Graeme in order to be sure that nothing is left out. I'm posting to the
mailing list since I think that the same information could be useful for
others in future. In short:
- the application is named blueShades (renamed from an initial idea
"blueArgyle" when I spotted Graeme's desire to avoid any ambiguous
association with the original)
- it's written in Java and uses the unmodified Argyll binaries by invoking
them as a spawned process
- it embeds an unmodified copy of Argyll (all the files included, as
extracted from the tar)
- it's released under the AGPL v3 as I understand there's no other way
- it's designed in modules, the ones depending on Argyll being released
under the AGPL v3, the other ones under Apache Software Foundation License
v2 (it's fine for an AGPL v3 app to use ASF v2).
- the license explicitly mentions Argyll (you can read it here
http://blueshades.tidalwave.it/license/)
- there's another license mention on the splash screen which reads:
blueShades is released through the Affero GNU License v3.
It embeds <a style="color: #1E2A60;"
href="http://www.argyllcms.com";>Argyll CMS</a>, by Graeme Gill, released
through the Affero GNU License v3. For more information, please
visit

If there's anything else to do / amend, please let me know.
Thanks.
