You are right, In the time you asked me for some of my styles I did one
styleset for a commercial application...unfortunately, this project seems to
be dead so the situation is different...moreover those styles you have found
in th RFM release were mostly developed for the VID1.3 project which is
non-comercial. I just wanted to wait a little bit with the public release
because all those styles are still in beta stage and was afraid to spread
inconsistent stlyes into wide public but I changed my mind...Now you can use
them aso you like in any project for free but don't blame me for any
problems, bugs etc. just report them to me and I will try to do something
with it;). I believe that the VID project will continue in the very near
future so finally everyone will be able to use all my(and others) work I put
into it either in the upcomming Rebol/View or just as a kind of extension...
I know that in current situation there is not much oportunities to develop
in Rebol for money but i still believe that one day...;)
regards,
Cyphre
