From a link to "copywrite" questions on the link you provided it seems to be suggested that the copywrite does not apply to the pictures, rather to the backing and the packaging, though also mentioned is the agressive defense of their territory by those concerned with copywrite infringement on what they "own" (which I have no argument with, otherwise I would have never bothered ask for permission when I wanted to put a "tarot deck comparison spreader" freeware program out). Anyway, it's probably a dead issue for me, be it just the backing that's protected or not, though I maintain my curiosity and would wonder what Waite, Crowley et al. might feel about their creations from whatever level they be at (perhaps level nil) though feelings from ghosts would no doubt be besides the point legally. |

Thanks for the link. It seems the copywrite status on Tarot Cards is slightly complicated, perhaps unclear and rather like a game of poker in the backing up of claims and pursuit of lawsuits. |

I know nothing about the Pamela "A" deck, but the cards in the screenshot don't look any different from the standard Rider-Waite Deck; if one is just talking about the backing pattern of the cards (I don't know) it seems irrelevant to the source of the front side pictures. |

I advise anyone interested in this program to NOT buy a license for it at this time. I should have a new beta version of FTLC uploaded sometime in the relatively near future and for the time being it will have no restrictions (i.e. no need for license). The new beta will be probably little better nor worse than the current version though what changes it may contained are not yet finalized. |

Tentatively wish this was available for powerbook G4. Mine was sent to Apple twice for "lower RAM memory slot failure" which seems to be due to overheating the solder connection between the RAM chip and its IC board. But then I would wonder if increased fan speed goes beyond what the fan may be designed to handle (i.e. wear and tear) over some period of time (I have no idea). |

Thanks to the developer for the information, but from my standpoint, I wanted the thoth deck (Crowley's) also (my program was partially for comparitive purposes, not mainly "spreading" of the deck). Good to know that there's a deck in public domain though. I came to the conclusion that the only way to go with my program was to let people scan their own decks and import them into database, but decided it was probably too much to ask and the project was abandoned accept for personal use. |

Just curious. I wrote a tarot program, but then couldn't get permission from the people with the rights to the Rider-Waite deck (shown above) to use its electronic images in my program (scanned them from my own deck). Same went for Thoth deck from the folks with the rights to them. Both groups said they do not allow such things anymore. Wonder if this guy had better luck with them. I was disappointed. |
