Please distinguish between "sponsorship" and someone who simply happens to
use our software. The picture was probably edited with Adobe Photoshop.
Did you send the same email to Adobe? They probably used a Windows box to
run Photoshop, did you send this message to Microsoft? Yes, furt.com uses
PHP to build their site. We cannot, will not and couldn't if we wanted to
put restrictions on what our software can be used for, just like neither
Adobe nor Microsoft can restrict the sort of content that their software
is used to manipulate.
