Revolution license

I didn't even know about that requirement until I wrote the article and it 
came up in editing. I'm certainly guilty of not having it in the past. It's 
mentioned deep in the bowels of the EULA when you install Rev, and I'm 
pretty sure there's no task force scouring networks for unattributed 
applications... but yeah, it does exist and it's been there a long time.

They just want one line somewhere... no logo, not a link, not a separate 
splash screen, and not all over the place. I imagine having it once in your 
"About" screen should more than suffice. I mentioned it in the article 
because I thought eight words you could put somewhere out of the way was 
much preferable to the many requirements FileMaker has, which ensure 
everyone knows you made a FileMaker-based runtime.

One sees "portions copyright..." messages all the time in software large and 
small, whether it's Pantone for the color matching scheme or the JPEG group 
or Kodak for certain imaging technologoes.

Unlike FileMaker's list of intrusive restrictions, it doesn't diminish our 
work, I believe.
