License
AndreaMosaic is creditware, in other words it is completely free for personal or commerical use, but you must help me making AndreaMosaic more popular:

  • Every mosaic you publish/show must include a reference to AndreaMosaic.
    On a web page add a link to AndreaMosaic home page. When printed add a note about AndreaMosaic together with the print. In other words who will see the mosaic (or a derivative work of it) must know and see that you used AndreaMosaic.
    Like when you publish a photograph and you give the credit to the Photographer. Like if you publish a painting and you give the credit to yourself as the author but also to the whoever gave you a free paintbrush & colours (AndreaMosaic).

  • If you publish a particular mosaic to a large audience then you should inform me about it.

  • Please support this program with a donation, you will receive several benefits (especially in the future)! If you use AndreaMosaic commercially (i.e. you get any profit with it), then you really should support it, proportionally to the value the program is giving you.
  • If you publish a particular mosaic to a large audience then you should inform me about it.

1. CREDIT. Every Mosaic (or derivative work) created and published (or distributed in any way) must include a credit text to AndreaMosaic. The credit text should state "Mosaic created with AndreaMosaic" or a text with a similar meaning and it can be written in the language of the target audience.

All other aspects of the credit text (e.g., size, style, duration, location, etc.) are at the sole discretion of the publisher but must comply with above requirement. Any of the following examples comply with this requirement and also other similar examples are accepted:
* In a Mosaic Image published on the Web a small text somewhere with a hyper-link to AndreaMosaics web page.
* In a Mosaic printed and published on a wall a small credit text can be placed on a informative note to be placed near the mosaic. The informative note can contain other text too.
* In a Movie / TV Show / Web Video the credit text can be placed in the end credits of the Movie / Episode / Web Video.
* In a Mosaic published on any media (including web, printing, broadcasting, TV, etc) the credit text can be included in the informative details published together with the mosaic.
