Robin___ Sodding Thunderbird has been marking a load of my email as spam.04:39.04 
  It's cos I don't use this laptop normally.04:39.12 
  So, if I've not responded to any email from people, please let me know.04:39.27 
pavan Hi Robin 06:28.42 
siyb anyone from artifex here in the channel?09:58.58 
kens yes09:59.13 
siyb kens: do you mind if i query you?09:59.26 
kens Don't ask to ask, just ask....09:59.36 
  Whether *I* can help or not is another issue.09:59.49 
  But the channel is logged and soeone will read and reply at some point09:59.59 
siyb kens: ok, i know that this might not be your field of expertise but i am not sure if a usecase of mine falls under commercial use of one of your products (mupdf). i want to create thumbnails from a pdf and display those on a website that uses adverts, does that constitute commercial use?10:01.29 
  s/I/the company that I work for/10:01.54 
  should I contact sales directly?10:02.20 
kens I am not a lawyer! I can't indemnify you on behalf of Artifex. It doesn't look like its infringing, AGPL permits you to use open source apps freely for your own use. Since you are neither selling the code, nor makign it available as a service, I don't see that there is a problem. If you have doubts you would be best to consult a legal professional. I don't thnk our sales people will give you a different answer.10:03.15 
siyb thank you for the quick answer, I wanted to gather some info before getting legal involved ;)10:04.15 
kens Sorry I can't be definitive, not my area of expertise....10:04.38 
siyb hehe, thought as much, thanks for your help anyways10:04.56 
sebras siyb: is your website going to be service where I as a user can upload pdfs and get thumbnails of the pdf made for me?10:40.54 
siyb yep, and I think that's going to be an issue (if i am not mistaken)10:42.06 
kens Ah, then you are offering it as a service, at least arguably. That's covered by the 'A' in AGPL, the Affero thing10:42.37 
  Too murky for me.10:43.04 
siyb dito ;)10:43.44 
SpNg i’m rendering an EPS -> PNG and I’m using -dEPSFitPage with -gWxH. I’m running into an issue where the reulting output will be blank at certain dimensions but not others. What would cause this?20:40.12 
rayjj SpNg: That's impossible to say without seeing the file. It is possible that the EPS file has DSC comments for the %%%BoundingBox that are inaccurate (which are used with -dEPSCrop and -dEPSFitPage), so the page is not where it is supposed to be20:53.06 
  SpNg: sorry about the extra % in the above -- trying to anticipate Chatzilla filtering and I didn't get it right20:54.06 
SpNg rayjj: the interesting thing here is the %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 800 799.4216. I’m wondering if the partial pixel is causing the issue20:54.37 
rayjj SpNg: I recommend opening a bug at bugs.ghostscript.com and attaching the file. If you can't attach the file, then SORRY20:54.59 
  SpNg: no, gs handles bounding boxes and PageSize info as real (FP) numbers20:55.39 
SpNg rayjj: I can attach the file. I will open a report20:56.05 
rayjj and gs even handles inverted bboxes and bboxes with a lower right corner < (0,0)20:56.32 
  SpNg: great. It's probably simple (but then, I've been fooled before ;-) )20:57.08 
  SpNg: make sure and include the command line you are trying to use20:58.16 
SpNg rayjj: will do!21:06.46 
  @rayjj: I just submitted the bug: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69612821:50.28 
rayjj SpNg: Great! I'll have a look21:58.49 
SpNg rayjj: solid. thanks for the quick response. 22:00.48
