not sure where the ext package for the vga port is, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

We see you have re-packaged our software and are distributing it. We are glad to hear that you guys like Swype, but we are obligated to state that we don't condone such activity nor support the result. Naturally those of you asking for new languages and features should wait until we launch a device in your market. Obviously, we won't support unlicensed versions of our software. One might ask why we don't just release the .cab file ourselves and save everyone the hassle. The reason is that we have spent seven years building Swype and we want to try to make a living selling our software. That means someone needs to pay for it. Thus far, our business model is OEM licensing. We do plan to get to direct-to-consumer distribution but it is a different sort of business and thus it is hard to say when. In the meantime, enjoy using Swype and please look out for a better, more integrated, and legal version coming soon to a phone near you.

Regards,
The Swype Team

PS. Our lawyer has asked us to remind everyone about copyright infringement and to inform you that Swype reserves all of its rights.

ouch.

this doesn't come right out and say that we can't cook an already ported version into our roms though, just that they don't condone it and won't support it and that we can't make any money off of it?

Kbussen, thanks for the heads up. Where did you find this post at?My favorite part is this -
Thus far, our business model is OEM licensing.

So that means that its only thru a device manufacturer that we can get it, right? Which manufacturer has it?

In the meantime, enjoy using Swype and please look out for a better, more integrated, and legal version coming soon to a phone near you.


He (or she) is realistic and apparently knows its gonna be used anyway...

Still made sure they put the legal info in the post, but without going on the "I will hunt you down" power trip you normally see - whoever posted this, I think we'd get along great. In fact, I'd be willing to bet they have taken part in their own "greymarket" software testing and therefore understand (not condone, just understand) the motivation behind all of us playing with all this software ourselves - which is why the reminder of legalities was in such a friendly manner.

The lawyer part about how swype "reserves all its rights" would cover it, they were just trying to be nice.
