Linkware means providing a link back to the site from where a graphic was downloaded. It is not just good enough to place the logo of the creator on your site. Make sure that the logo is linked back correctly. There is nothing worse than a visitor reaching a dead end or one of those annoying "incorrect URL - page not found" pages. If you don't provide the correct link you are not abiding by the terms of use or conditions of the creator.    Linkware DOES NOT mean linking direct to a graphic on someone else's server. All linkware graphics should be downloaded to your hard drive and then uploaded to your own server.    So, you haven't started your page yet and you're just downloading whatever takes your fancy? This is fine, providing that you make a note of who the graphics belong to. It is extremely frustrating to finally decide on the set or graphics to use, only to find that you don't know who created it.    Most graphic/web designers are quite proficient in browsing the web and will eventually find the site using their graphics without a link. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!    Give credit where it is due. Don't claim someone else's work as your own. Many graphic designers have digitally marked their work.    Be careful of COPYRIGHT issues.
