small edit to the Object loop (wasn’t actually reading the property’s value before)

^ Do lower prices really equal higher sales on ThemeForest? Something tells me that the benefit of a lower price would be offset by astute buyers knowing that lower-prices equal lower quality.

All these changes and clarifications are a valid step forward but I have to be honest – things are moving forward too slow and the whole licensing ordeal is still quite a mess. Hope to see more improvements soon.

I’d love to see this poll on Envato Notes:

As an author, I haven’t yet opted into the extended license program because:

a) I was already in!
b) I opted-in with the latest update
c) I’m waiting for pricing to get better
d) I’m waiting to be able to opt-in on a per-file basis
e) I still have concerns about cross-marketplace usage
f) What’s the extended license program?

Disregard the title of that link. The test originally started as something else and then evolved.

Probably need to do more tests but from that sample it looks like Arrays are faster for instances when you need to store both a key and a value. Certainly Objects are prettier/better organized, so deciding to use the Array approach probably depends on what you’re doing.

In the Array example, an additional 10k Arrays are created for each loop compared to the Object example. So essentially, 2[] < 1{}

Maybe i’m getting a wrong perspective, but, for example, allowing someone to buy an extended license on AudioJungle (around 40$) and be able to upload the same item on AJ with just a few retouches makes absolutely nonsense. But it makes if we consider a html template on TF to implement in on one framework. That’s what i’m talking about.

It seems there’s still going to be a lot of scenario-specific questions. Maybe we could just make a “you can’t use an extended license purchase in a product that you sell on the same marketplace” rule.

As far as the “8th grade reading level” comment, It’s not really about the majority of people not being able to understand what the new “limited repurposing” means. Because that’s true, as described in those articles the meaning is obvious. But people will look for loopholes in the licensing verbiage. And if they can’t find specific verbiage telling them what they can’t do, they may decide to ignore the obvious and implied interpretation of the rule(s). So the more examples of what is and isn’t acceptable the better IMO .

CC jQuery Slider converted to a CC WP Plugin Slider is valid limited repurposing?
CC WP Plugin Slider to be included in a TF WP Theme is valid limited repurposing?
TF WP Theme converted to a TF Joomla Theme is valid limited repurposing?
TF Joomla Theme converted to a TF Drupal Theme is valid limited repurposing?

From these four examples, the one that probably doesn’t need author permission is the WP Plugin -> WP Theme. Because that seems like the only case where one is a much larger project than the other.

This is awesome Lance!

A few thoughts. When Author B incorporates Author A’s work, it would be great if Author B were asked to make a sincere effort to remove any Author A branding from the original work. This helps keep support where it belongs and also helps protect Author A’s reputation. My guess is this would just involve removing any logos or links in the original source pointing to the original author/work.

Another thing that I think would be good is to include something like this:

Neither the name of the author nor the names of contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

taken from this here:

Also, I know it’s kind of implied as limited repurposing, but it would be great if “converting a jQuery plugin to a WordPress plugin” could be added to the “prohibited” list in the article below as it’s going to be a common question.

But so happy you guys worked on this! This is going to be great

var url = document.URL;
var base = url.substring(0, url.lastIndexOf("/"));

var a = /http/;
var b = new RegExp(base);

var i = links.length; // "links" array already populated

while(i--) {

    if(links[i].match(b)) {

        console.log("link is internal");

    }
    else if(links[i].match(a)) {

        console.log("links is external");

    }
    else {

        console.log("link is internal");

    }

}
