BTW, you are welcome to join the <a href="http://groups.google.com.sg/group/creativecommonssingapore" rel="nofollow">Creative Commons googlegroup</a>. That's where I'll post the question. And that's where we announce the CC Salons.

We often use software like boardmaker which costs about half a thousand. Are we allowed to only share files in boardmaker format or are we allowed to also share them on pdf format?<br />It would be worse for the boardmaker company if we share them on pdf format as people can reproduce the pictures without buying the software. However, if we share in boardmaker format, they will have to first buy the software before they can then access the content of the file.<br /><br />Not sure if i am describing it clear enough, but from a user point of view, of course I prefer pdf but boardmaker and the creators of boardmaker software will think otherwise. It is not like they are making a lot of money.<br /><br />Will you please kindly keep me in the loop for the next CC Salon? I think my husband is interested too, he's in the hackerspace google group.<br /><br />Thank you so much.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Yi Linstarry007https://www.blogger.com/profile/00325152995584399083noreply@blogger.com
