|
|
813bcf2 |
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
sorry for the confusion... let's see if I can clarify
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
1. the U4 distribution in the magazine was intended to be an 'exclusive'
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
for the mag.
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
2. Once the mag distribution was over, it was felt nothing much could be
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
done to stop redistribution of U4 after that
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
3. KickAss was offering U4 for d/l, but the Dragons couldn't (per a
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
previous 'restriction' by Origin?)
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
4. I said, that's not fair to the Dragons... They've been honest about
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
this. Why not let them offer it as well.. Answer: Your absolutely right..
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
5. Ergo: email to Fortran Dragon 'OK'ing' the ability to offer U4 for free
|
|
|
813bcf2 |
d/l by Dragons
|
