About Freely Distributable Software - Public Domain and Shareware:
This disk is made up of software which the developers of the software have
chosen to distribute through non-commercial channels. This software falls
into two basic categories, Public Domain and Shareware. Public Domain
software is software which is truly free. The author of the program
makes no request for payment for the programs use. Shareware programs, on
the other hand, are programs for which the developer has requested a payment
for his work if the program is used for a longer than a specified trial
period. It is a true "try before you buy" offer. Many of the programs
distributed this way rival their commercial counterparts in both quality
and usefulness. Authors of programs distributed in this manner depend on
the honesty of the users of these programs for compensation their work.
If the developer of a program has requested payment for his work you are
strongly urged to send in the payment as promptly as possible if you use
the program beyond the initial specified trial period. Your support for
this type software distribution is essential if the Shareware dream is to
remain alive.
It is important to keep in mind that money paid for this disk applies
only to the cost of the production of this disk. HyperMedia Concepts
does not pass on any of the money it receives to the authors of the
programs contained on the disk. This CD ROM is a distribution medium
only.
Please do your part and pay the authors for the programs you use if
such payment is requested.
