Hi all,
I just got permission to use this Swisstopo map as a background for our
splash screen - the size must not exceed 500'000 pixels.
It is ok if we mention the copyright of the background map of the splash
screen in the "About Dialogue" - so no need to put it on the splash screen.
Who can do this copyright notice in our about screen? It should be
written as:
Backgroundmap of Splashscreen: © 2013 Swisstopo
Thanks,
Andreas
