Workbench and Includes Licenses
Developers who wish to distribute files/commands from Workbench
or C/Asm Include files on their commercial product MUST have
a license to do so. Distribution of the items in PD or freely
redistributable form is not allowed. Licenses may be requested
through your local Amiga support organization, or through
CATS - Licenses, 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA., 19380.
Licenses are available for Workbench 1.3, Workbench 2.0, Includes
1.3, and Includes 2.0. Be sure to specify which license(s) you
require and include your full PAPER MAIL address including country.
Licensing generally costs $100/year for workbench, $25/year for
Includes/Libs.
Current 1.3 Workbench licensees may also request a special
"IFFParse" amendment for distributing the 2.0 iffparse.library
with 1.3.
We expect to have some additional amendments available for
non-registered developers soon for Installer and AmigaGuide
(currently only available to regsitered developers).

1. 2.0 Native Developer Update (see Dept. C list). Contains the
all of the 2.0 Devcon code examples and 2.0 AmigaMail code
examples.
