It has never been, nor will it ever be in the "Public Domain". You are granted a limited license in order to evaluate these programs. If, after a 3 or 4 week period of evaluation, you find that LhA suits your archiving needs, please register. IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER AFTER THIS PERIOD YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE PROGRAM (since you obviously didn't think it was worth using). By cooperating with this concept you help to ensure continued development of this product. Registered users will be shipped a disk with the latest release version of LhA together with a keyfile. This keyfile, once copied to your system, will disable the ShareWare reminders that always open when you start or quit the Intuition driven programs in the LhA family. The registered-user version of LhA has all the features of the evaluation version, as well as several additional commands, options and features. The registered version is also up to 50% faster than the evaluation version. Site license information for commercial and government use can be obtained directly from the author. No person(s) or businesses other than the author are authorized to accept any registration or distribution fees in any form whatsoever, except as specified by the author. The only people who will be regarded as registered users are those who have sent SEK 100, USD 20, 25 IRC's or more to: Stefan Boberg Rydsvägen 242 A:25 S-58251 Linköping Sweden / Europe Be sure to provide me with your name, address, fido-nodenumber/InterNet address for filing purposes. If you don't mind, this data will be stored and processed in electronic form. There is a sample registration form you can fill in in the file "OrderForm". Please allow two to eight weeks for delivery. Usually you will be sent your registered version right away, but if a new version is near completion, I will wait until it has been finished unless you explicitly tell me to send a version right away. LhA License Page 2 2 Distribution Basically, the evaluation version of LhA may be distributed freely as long as the following conditions are met: The distributor may only charge a fee up to the costs of obtaining a public domain diskette from Fred Fish. The distributor agrees to cease distributing the programs and data involved if requested to do so by the author. The distributor may only distribute an unmodified copy of the original program, with all the supplied documentation and copyright notices left intact. For more details, see the "License" section. 3 Support If you have any suggestions, bug reports or questions, please contact the author of LhA at the address given earlier or at one of the electronic mail addresses below: InterNet: boberg@lysator.liu.se or : lha@augs.se FIDONet : "Stefan Boberg" at node 2:204/404 When sending in bug reports, please state exactly under what circumstances the bug occurred, what equipment was used and what happened. If possible also try to give me enough information to reproduce the bug. It is very difficult to find bugs when you don't know exactly what happened. Please don't just send messages like "it can't extract files from archives sometimes", that really doesn't help me. If possible, submit the offending file/archive to me so I can test it myself, or give me a pointer where I can find the archive. 4 Program availability The latest version of LhA is always available for anonymous FTP at lysator.liu.se, in `/pub/amiga/lha_e???.run' - it is a self-extracting archive that should be executed from CLI or WB2.0 to extract the contents. It will also be available for FidoNet FReq from AUGS BBS in Linköping, Sweden, under the magic filename `LHA', the Fido node number is 2:204/404. 5 License 1.
