Hi,

is it ok to adapt the d-p-l.org library reference style for own
projects?

I'd like to use it for the cairoD documentation.

Thanks, I published the documentation here: http://jpf91.github.com/cairoD/api/cairo_c_cairo.html I removed all the Digital Mars copyright notices for now, should I add those back? -- Johannes Pfau

No. But one thing does concern me, the use of the D logo. Using it in the upper left corner implies that Cairo is an officially supported D library. May I suggest instead one of the other logos in the recent thread about logos in the D newsgroup? Or heck, you get to have the fun of creating a logo!

Ok, I removed it. I might add another one later, but for now I just want to have the api documentation working ;-) -- Johannes Pfau

Not strictly relevant, but I'm working on the d-p-l.org design, including neatening the documentation. There's a thread on this. The current design is the work of David Gileadi, I am told, so presumably he owns the copyright on the front-end design?

We never discussed this that I recall, but I hereby assign any copyright I might hold to Walter Bright and anyone else he designates. Since I'm not a lawyer, if anything else is needed I'd be happy to provide it. I may not need to do anything at all; the pages all state that the copyright belongs to Digital Mars.

I had never thought about it, but thanks! That removes any potential issue.
