WSSINDEX Site License Information Effective 1/1/88
Some of my commercial users have complained that the wording of
my previous site license agreement ("You may make an unlimited
number of copies for use within your organization"), which was
supposed to be flexible, is instead too vague. The following fee
schedule replaces the previous wording. Of course, previously
purchased site licenses remain in effect under the old terms.
---- Registration Level ---- --- Charge ---
Level 1 Single user/machine $25
Level 2 2-10 users $10 + $15 per user
Level 3 11-20 users $40 + $12 per user
Level 4 21-50 users $100 + $9 per user
Level 5 51-100 users $300 + $5 per user
Level 6 more than 100 users $800
Source code license $800 (see note 1)
Registration level upgrade price differential between
old and new levels plus $10
service charge
Above prices are for license only. 5.25 inch disks containing
all programs and documentation files in compressed form can be
supplied for $2 (Level 1), or $1 per disk (Level 2 or higher),
minimum prepaid order $5, minimum purchase order $15. 3.5 inch
disks should become available some time in 1988. Normally, you
would want to order at least one disk with your license unless
you already had a copy of the current version. I am not
currently set up to provide printed manuals, but hope to add this
option in the future.
Software upgrades: your license covers all future versions of
WSSINDEX and related utilities. Level 2 registrants will
automatically be sent one copy of the next release of WSSINDEX.
Level 3, 4, 5 and 6 registrants will be sent one copy of all new
releases made, respectively, in the 6 month, 12 month, 18 month
or 2 year period following purchase.
Notes:
1. Although WSSINDEX is mainly written in Turbo C (with a little
assembly language code), it uses a few routines derived with
only small modifications from the Computer Innovations C86
source library. These can only be supplied in source form if
you present evidence of ownership of a CI86 compiler.
Signature of a non-disclosure agreement is also required for
any source code sale.
2. I recognize that determining the exact number of users is
impossible in a large organization. A good faith estimate is
sufficient.
3. This price schedule is continuous at the price breaks. It is
never true that the total cost decreases when you add another
user, but the marginal cost declines, eventually reaching zero
at 100 users.
4. Purchasers of site licenses with the old wording have received
a bargain and are free to interpret that wording in any
reasonable manner. The phrase "your organization" could mean
a single site, or an entire company, or anything through
registration level 4 above, but does not include your
affiliates in 67 foreign countries or the entire US government
if you are a government agency. If you try to draw finer
distinctions, you will soon see why the old wording was
dropped. If you wish to convert an old style license
agreement, it would be treated as a registration level
upgrade, with the service charge waived.
5. The question may arise in this era of multi-national
corporations, who can be covered under a single site license?
The answer is a single company including wholly owned
subsidiaries. For more complicated situations, please contact
WSS Division of DDC for a price quote.
6. It is not a violation of your license to distribute copies of
the entire WSSINDEX package in excess of the license level
within or outside your organization for evaluation purposes,
in fact such distribution is encouraged. For such
distributions your only obligation is to not give the
recipient the impression that the distribution is covered by
your site license.
7. If you have needs which might be met by a special version of
WSSINDEX, or a related custom utility, please contact the
author at the address below for estimates of feasibility, cost
and development time.
