PostBox Licensing questions

This question is mainly for John.

I was looking at PostBox today, and it looks quite promising, and it's based off of mozilla, which brings me to my questions. I know you work with Mozilla with FF and T-bird, and the licensing is similar.

Here's PostBox's Licensing. Can I make this portable, or do I have to get permission from them first?

Thanks,

Registry Question

Submitted by DerekMaciel on June 13, 2009 - 8:14pm

Okay so I was thinking of making AIM Lite portable.* I thought of making it for PortableApps because using Package Factory (or something like that) I got the program to run on my U3 Powered flash drive. The program runs perfectly, but the only "problem" I encountered is that if you click "Remember Me" or "Save Password", it will write to the Registry. Besides that, it doesn't use the Registry at all. Anyone know how to get around this** or if I don't need to bother with it at all?

*Yes, I know Pidgen can sign onto AIM.

Unable to make plugin installer using Installer 0.91.3

Submitted by xuesheng on June 13, 2009 - 1:22pm

When I try to use Installer 0.91.3 to make a plugin installer I get this error message

ERROR: AppInfo.ini - Control - Start is missing.

According to Section 6 of PortableApps.com Format0.91 (2009-06-11) "The App\AppInfo directory should be empty" so why is the compiler complaining it cannot find that file?

My plugininstaller.ini file is in Other\Source and App\AppInfo is empty.

NSIS 2.45

Submitted by prapper on June 13, 2009 - 7:34am

As the new version includes some Win7 bug fixes, does that mean we still need to use this?

I know it's marked as fixed over at NSIS but I was just wondering what the word was here.
