Section 4c of the EULA

This section of the EULA reads as follows:
Two questions.
i: To comply with subsection (i), do we need to spawn a web browser when the user clicks or otherwise impliment actual linking functionality? This is not a trivial task, especially over multiple platforms. Inless, of course, T2D has some function hidden within it to do so.
ii: Could the wording in question be modified to be a grammatically correct sentense, please? ;) Like "This game is powered by Torque 2D."
Quote:Licensee agrees to include in the "About" box or in the credits screen: (i) a link to www.garagegames.com, and (ii) the wording "This game powered by Torque 2D."

Side note: How is the user supposed to "activate" that link, if the game is controlled by keyboard only? (I.e.: has no visible mouse cursor).

It sounds like "link" was the wrong word and you only need to have the text "www.garagegames.com" in your credits or on your "about" window.
But this definitely needs to be clarified as I don't really want to have any web links in my games.

You can say "this game is powered by Torque 2D" or "Powered by Torque 2D", if you want. Just getting the point across there. Likewise for a link... an actual weblink is preferred (and it's very easy to spawn a browser from T2D, it's one script or C++ function), but if you just have the "www.garagegames.com" text in there, that's okay.
