- MCBase license agreement.
-
- MCBASE IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE.
-
- The registration key, which you receive from us after registering, is
- STRICTLY PERSONAL and may not be duplicated other than for backup purposes
- on your personal behalf, as it turns the shareware version of MCBase V2.x
- into a registered version. An MCBase registration key must be treated like
- a book, in that the same registration key may not be used on more than one
- computer at the same time, just as a book cannot be read by more than one
- person at the same time.
-
- By registering your copy of MCBase you do NOT become the owner of this
- software package, but you are granted the fully supported use of the MCBase
- database system. The MCBase software package will remain the total property
- of the author, Harry Doldersum, under all circumstances.
-
- Users are granted a limited license to use the SHAREWARE version of MCBase
- for a limited evaluation period (See "Evaluation period") in order to
- determine if the produkt meets their needs. Any other use of MCBase or use
- past this period requires registration. (PLEASE NOTE THAT CONTINUED USE
- AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD WITHOUT VALID REGISTRATION IS A VIOLATION OF
- COPYRIGHT LAWS).
-
- Evaluation period: You may EVALUATE this copy of the MCBase database
- system for a period of 30 days (OR until you've
- reached the EVALUATION LIMIT for a database, which
- ever comes first), to determine if it meets your
- needs. After this trial period you must register
- (buy) your copy at the given address (see the MCBa-
- se orderform within the documentation set) OR STOP
- using this software.
-
- Evaluation limit: While in it's shareware status, MCBase is limiting
- itself to accomodate (roughly) 30 albums. We are
- assuming that when you have entered these 30 albums
- (or whatever database that might be the first to
- reach it's shareware evaluation limit), you're
- BEYOND the point of an EVALUATION USAGE.
-
-
- All users are granted a limited license (and are encouraged) to copy the
- shareware version (NOT the registered version: DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL
- REGISTRATION KEY) of MCBase only for the purpose of allowing others to try
- it, subject to the above restrictions as well as these:
-
- MCBase must be distributed in absolutely unmodified form, including
- all program, documentation and other files as found in the original
- MCBxxx.ZIP (xxx = version number) archive file. If you MUST repack
- the ZIP-archive then please make sure you include all files as found
- in the original archive.
-
- MCBase may not be included with any other product for any reason
- whatsoever without a written license from the author: Harry Dolder-
- sum.
-
- No payment may be charged for MCBase, other than a fee to cover
- copying expences.
-
- Bulletin Board system operators may post the unregistered SHAREWARE version
- of MCBase on their BBS for downloading by their users WITHOUT written
- permission of the author (= Harry Doldersum) ONLY if the above mentioned
- conditions are met, and only if no special fee is necessary to access the
- MCBase archive file.
-
- Distributors of SHAREWARE and Public Domain software, MUST obtain written
- permission from the author (Harry Doldersum) before distributing MCBase and
- must follow the above mentioned conditions (EXCLUSIONS: PLEASE SEE "IMPOR-
- TANT NOTES" BELOW). Permission is almost always granted; this requirement
- is necessary to ensure protection for ourselves and MCBase users from
- unscrupulous individuals.
-
- Important notes:
-
- -1) You may not advertize MCBase as free software, but as SHAREWARE only!
- Please explain the shareware concept to prospective buyers.
- -2) Distributors, who are an ASP member (or those who follow the ASP's
- guidelines), do NOT need our written permission for distribution.
- -3) ALL distributors and/or BBS-systems must seize distributing MCBase
- within one month of written request by the author.
-
- For further information on distribution topics, see the file VENDINFO.DIZ:
- ANY distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements expressed in
- that data record is hereby authorized.
