WinCustomize.jp ? Just curious...

I just recieved the following email...

Dear Mr. Ingui:



We hope that our contacting you is not an imposition in any way.



We are writing to ask you the permission of the use of your WindowBlinds artwork at our web site https://www.wincustomize.jp .

.

Our company connected Stardock Corporation, Inc, with the licensing agreement of WindowBlinds4 and we sell it in Japan. WindowBlinds is well received in Japan, and we need more nice skins.

We want to introduce your beautiful artwork to Japanese WindowBlinds users at our site.



We would be appreciate it if you would give us the permission to place your artwork at our site.



We look forward to hearing from you.



Yours Sincerely,



Tomomi Saito,

SamuraiWorks co.,Ltd

I got the same letter Ingui. I was about to email Forgboy for verification on the claim, and since it's all good, I'll give it a go.

Im ok with it and sent my permission after Fuzzy gave me his simple but eloquent "Yes" but I was curious since I saw some there stuff by names I know and I must of missed the News item. I also didnt think I was the only one, which made it even more curious to me since no one else seemed to mention it. Kinda glad now that I posted. I may become like an American minor league ball player who reaps great fame in Japan.

Ciao

Search on the author (制作者) "Watson" yields nothing, so your themes probably weren't added yet then.
