First off, I did not vote in this poll because it is one sided, not enough options to choose from.

Now, some of DBTech's mods do run on all pages and some have the potential to, depending on what settings you choose. So with the Copyright Management mod, it just condenses the footer, and as a side affect, shows on all pages. In order to not have this, the conditional you would have to write, would look like a novel. If any one of these 30+ options are true, then display the copyright on all pages, but only if this or that is enabled bla, bla, bla.

So as a end user I have the choice.

• Use the Copyright Management mod, and see their copyright on all my pages.
• Don't use the Copyright Management, and have my footer on some of my pages look like a Christmas list.
• Purchase the branding free for the mods I am using.
• Purchase the Global Branding free, which works for all their mods.
• Don't use any of their mods. (Which will never happen, as their stuff is top notch, and the support is at the highest level)

Yes you as a coder, can code your mods to not work if X product is installed, or if any mod from X developer is installed on a users system, but IMO that is just plain silly. With the customer base that DBTech has you could potentially alienate your self with alot of people, and loose customers yourself. It may work out for you, cause that in it's own has the potential for less people using your mods, thus cutting down on your support time.

I for one would never install a mod that was explicitly coded to not work if another mod(s) was on my system.

This statement is 100% untrue.

The Copyright Management mod was created as there were a multitude of requests on their site, to help out the users that could not afford to purchase the branding free for the mods. Also, you are the first person in over a year to express concerns about this. The mod has many users using it, and they have no issues with the basic functionality of the mod, and how it displays the copyright on all pages.
