Permission denial
Thursday, June 17, 2004 by farkusmarkus | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Anyone have a polite form mail I can borrow to deny permission to use my work for an application? Everything I come up with makes me sound like a pompous arse (or more so, I guess).
Or am I just being hyper-sensitive and should just outright say no?

I always said the truth, make it yourself, you'll feel better and more proud about it.

There really is no good way to say no. No matter how it's phrased, the NO part is what they are gonna hear.

If it is an application, tell them they can use it all they like as long asn they pay you enough to put your 3 kids through college

The solution is simple...but keep it to yourself.....[don't want too many people using it].
Simply explain that the skin in question was done in homage to a dear departed son/daughter [your choice] and it would not be proper to associate it with something 'commercial'.
Lateral thinking [deviousness] is best....

That's not funny, Jafo. It really is dedicated to my departed son, Marc.
