USER-SUPPORTED SOFTWARE
User-supported software, which is also known as Shareware,
is an experiment in microcomputer software distribution based on
The following principles:
1. That the value or worth of a program is best judged by
the individual user using the program on his/her own machine.
2. That the creation and distribution of microcomputer
software can be financially supported by users at reasonable
cost.
3. That the copying and sharing of software can and is
encouraged.
Anyone may request a copy of a user-supported program by
sending a blank, formatted disk to the author of the program. An
addressed, postage-paid return mailer must accompany the disk (no
exceptions, please). A copy of the program, with documentation on
the disk, will be sent by return mail. The program will carry a
notice suggesting a contribution to the program's author. Making
a contribution is completely voluntary.
Free distribution of software and voluntary payment for its
use eliminates costs for advertising and copy protection schemes.
Users obtain quality software at reduced cost. They can try it
out before buying, and do so at their own pace and in the comfort
of their own home or office. The best programs will survive based
purely on their quality and usefulness.
Please join the experiment. If you share a belief in these
principles, your contribution is requested to help make this
work. Regardless of whether you make a contribution, you are
encouraged to copy and share this program.
PERMISSION TO COPY
Individuals, clubs, and other non-profit organizations are
granted permission by the authors to freely copy this program and
documentation and share it with their members, so long as:
1. No price is charged for the software or documentation.
However, a distribution, copying cost or charge for the cost of
the diskette, so long as it is not more than $6.00 total.
2. Club members be informed of the user-supported idea and
encouraged to support it with their donations.
3. The program(s) or documentation are not modified in any way
and they are distributed together.
