<div>Well then I'm still confused... This website:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiv32.htm">http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiv32.htm</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Says:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"would like any new user of UI-View32 to contribute, on an entirely voluntary basis, to their national Cancer Research organization"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What you describe is that, in order for one to use the program, they are required to contribute. I don't disagree that they SHOULD contribute, nor do I disagree that most WILL contribute, but I do disagree that he requested that ALL contribute. That's what the "entirely voluntary basis" is all about. He would "like" you to, but does not require it. It's voluntary. The registration form on the website doesn't have a checkbox for "did you contribute?".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you explain to me the difference between filling out the form stating that you read the information about Roger and having someone manually email you a registration code versus running a program, acknowledging that you read the information, and being given the registration number? Or going to a website, reading the information, giving your callsign, and having the website automatically give you back a registration number? Maybe there is one but I haven't seen it come out clearly yet in this thread.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think Scott's purpose (and correct me if I'm wrong here Scott) is to assist, not to take over. Not to go against Roger's wishes. Scott even says so in his second post on this topic (which most have apparently ignored by now):</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"I wouldn't want to do that if there was a continuing need for registration for any other reason, though."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think the bottom line is that the issue is between Scott and the folks handling the registrations for UI-View.</div>

<div>For Igating to RF, no. Anyone can download any number of clients and generate a code to log in to a APRS-IS. That code isn't restricted at all - you just need to know the simple directions on how to do it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I see Scott's point - at this point the registrations and donations are not linked. You don't need to donate to register. So why go through all the extra work to manually generate registrations? Or are we all missing something?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are so concerned that a user be forced to read the part about donating before obtaining a code, create a small program to be included in the distributions where the user has to acknowledge that they read the part about donating before asking for their ham call and spitting out a registration code.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or again, is there more to this that we are missing?</div>
