- Critical Mass Concepts Software License
-
- Valid for software pre-dating December 1991.
-
- In the following license description CMC refers to Crtitical Mass
- Concepts, 'the software' refers to the item of software supplied
- and bound by this license.
-
- The License is divided into the categories Public Domain and
- Shareware, later versions will contain further catagories. The
- software is covered by the License originally distributed with
- the software. This License is valid with all software copyrighted
- up to and including December 1991. For example a piece of software
- which says "Copyright (C) 1990" is valid, one which says "Copyright
- (C) December 1991" is also valid; whereas ones dated "Copyright (C)
- 1992" or "Copyright (C) March 1992" are not covered by this license.
- Distributing CMC software without a correctly dated or altered
- license is illegal as you are infringing the authors copyright.
-
- The License covers more than one type of software, please refer
- to the section that covers the type of software obtained. This is
- normally described in the documentation or by the software
- itself.
-
- 1. Shareware
-
- If the software supplied is described in it's documentation as
- Shareware the following section applies :-
-
- All CMC Shareware software may be copied without restriction as
- long as it is not altered in anyway (excluding archiving or
- compaction). Distribution of this software in a modified form,
- especially if this license is not included infringes the
- copyright; and is therefore illegal. It would be preferred if
- Public Domain Libraries and other distributors at least registered
- with CMC.
-
- Should you wish to distribute a modified (eg. translated) version
- of this software please send a copy to CMC, if it is suitable we
- will explicitly authorize copying of that version.
-
- Shareware software requires that users pay contributions (as
- specified in the documentation) if they find the software useful.
- Although personal use without payment will not necessarily be
- counted as an infringement, usage on a large scale (ie.
- throughout a company etc.) will be deemed to be an infringement
- of the License and therefore of the copyright if payments are not
- made. So keep life simple and cough up the money, we supply
- software for very low prices so help us to continue doing so.
-
- 2. Public Domain
-
- All CMC software described as Public Domain in it's documentation
- is covered by this section of the license.
-
- CMC Public Domain software may be copied freely. If modifications
- are made the software may be redistributed as long as
- responsibility for the changes is acknowledged, CMC is
- described as the original source and this license is supplied.
- The exception to this is commercial usage, if any CMC Public
- Domain software is to be used in any software that is not Public
- Domain itself authorization must be gained from CMC first.
-
- Contributions are always welcome even for Public Domain software.
