Wait,.. can panoweaver be used for comercial virtual tours in the USA? Are there any legal problems? or could there be any legal problems from "ipix" ?
It's my understanding that only the spherical build, using ptviewer, may violate the copyright of that iP_X company (I think the forum rules warn against getting into discussion against other companies. Say, that reminds me, where are those forum rules that appeared when we joined this forum? Does anyone know how to access them, 'cause I can't find any access to them???). But I digress. Back to my "understanding", which I do not profess to be Gospel (or even "gospel")- only the way I think things are. I think the cubic build does not risk copyright infringement. While the panorama is still built using only two fisheye hemispheres, that process utilizes Apple's QuickTime technology, which does not violate iP_X copyrights.
Since I hate to spread false information, if anyone out there knows differently, please advise.
