Why do I need to log in to get access to SVN?

To prove that we informed our users about the correct use of our software, we need to to get your confirmation that you read our terms and conditins. And fot that we needed to introduce some "hurdles".

We try to keep it as simple as possible, but please understand that we need to protect ourselves. Especially because we are very open and give free access to almost everything.

We had some "cases" in the past where companies used our software and sold it; without a contract or license. We trust in their word that they simply did not know, but to avoid such pain in future, we had to change our download strategy.

Here a quick guidline:

For most downloads of files related to version 2 you have to confirm that you read our Terms&Conditions; what is a standard approach. We realized that with a pop up window (lightbox), to make it as comfortable as possible.

To get access to the sources in the SVN area you need to log in now. User name and password are provided under the link shown in the login box; please read carefulyl! This link leads you to a page where we show our terms&conditions, which you accept when you login.

We are sure that after a short learning curve this will not be a big pain for you, and hope you understand our reasoning.
