About the Hekkus' license

Dear Hekkus' users,

on the last five months I haven't received a single notification mail for your new (and I bet really wonderful) game, but I have seen more than one game that uses Hekkus recently published. Please remember the Hekkus' license, it is very simple, you must send me a mail for every product that you release if you use Hekkus in it, and if your game is a commercial one you should consider to make a small donation.
Even the already payed users, I usually send always to all the latest source, I do it because I like to share the improvements to the one that have donate something, but if you have released more than one commercial game think about another donation

I released the library with this permissive license, and I really like it, if you like it too please follow the simple terms
