If you are a beginning shareware author, you are entering into
an exciting an unique method of software creation, compensation,
and distribution. It is a truly enjoyable way to share your hard
work with people around the world. It can even offer a monetary
return!
You should be aware, however, that releasing your programs
without stipulation as to *who* can freely distribute them leaves
your program vulnerable to certain near-unethical business methods
practiced by a few shareware vendors.
A simple remedy to this is to include a VENDOR.DOC file with
every program you release, specifying the requirements *you* have
to protect your rights in having a say in how your program is
distributed, even if all you require is your permission.
A FILE_ID.DIZ file containing your own description of your
program is also helpful.
Feel free to utilize the UnderWare constitution in your
documentation. Alter it to suit your needs as necessary (you may
even remove the UnderWare Logo, if you wish!)
Please also include this note to new shareware authors in your
program documentation.
Good luck with your new SHAREWARE program!
Casey Butler
