RIGHTS & RESTRICTIONS
TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS:
PUBLIC SOFTWARE LIBRARY and PSL are registered trademarks of Nelson Ford
and PsL.
CD-OF-THE-MONTH is a trademark of Nelson Ford and PsL.
The program descriptions, the text of PsL News, and the text of the PsL
Reviews are registered with the Copyright Office.
The contents of the PsL CD-of-the-Month (PsL CD) as a compilation are
protected by copyright, registered with the Copyright Office. Reproduction of
one or more of PsL's monthly CDs as one or more sets of substantially the same
files without permission of PsL is prohibited.
Use of these trademarks and copyright materials in any means related to the
distribution of public domain or shareware software is subject to the
following restrictions:
PROGRAM COPYRIGHTS:
Most of the programs on this CD are copyright by the authors of the programs.
Some of the programs may require written permission for redistribution.
Because PsL does not own the software, we cannot grant to others the right to
redistribute it. It is the responsibility of distributors who are not
licensees of PsL to obtain permission for redistribution from the authors of
the programs who require it.
Therefore, the following license only applies to the use of PsL's rights: our
trademarks, our copyrights of the text, our compilation copyright, our disk
numbering system, and the names of disks given to compilations of programs.
To make it easier for other vendors and BBSs to comply with author's
copyrights, the Windows-based CD access program, PSL_SHRW.EXE, shows for each
program if the author's permission is required to distribute the program and if
ASP BBSs and vendors are given advance permission.
BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEMS:
BBS owners who also distribute public domain or shareware software on
diskettes are subject to the license for vendors, below, and not the terms of
this section.
Programs may be copied from the PsL CD for redistribution on BBSs in any way
the holder of the CD sees fit, subject to the program copyrights.
BBSs may make the PsL CD available for callers to download from, subject to
the program copyrights.
BBSs may refer to the PsL CD by name as being available on the BBS, but may
not imply that the BBS or its owner is an agent or licensee of PsL nor that
the BBS has any kind of exclusive right to distribute from the CD. This means,
in part, that you may NOT use PsL's name in your BBS name (eg: "PSL-CD BBS")
Program descriptions and Review files may be copied to other electronic media,
such as a hard disk, only for accessing by modem and only for the purpose of
aiding callers in selecting programs to download from the PsL CD on the same
machine.
<BBS License continues>
<BBS License, continued>
The program descriptions and Review files may not be printed nor distributed
in any other way nor used for any purpose other than for downloading from the
PsL CD without the express written permission of Nelson Ford.
This license only applies to the use of this CD on a single system. For
example, you may not copy all or substantial parts of this CD to a hard disk
on one system and then use the CD on a different system or transfer the CD to
another individual to use. You may not copy PsL's Reviews or description files
to a system other than the one to which the CD is licensed.
VENDORS:
Vendors of public domain or shareware software may copy files from the PsL CD
for redistribution on other media, subject to the program copyrights and PsL's
compilation copyrights (eg: vendors may not create a CD-ROM by simply copying
substantial portions of this CD - nor *any* of our program descriptions).
Vendors may NOT use the PsL trademarks in any way, including but not limited
to, reference to the PsL CD as the source of the programs, which would also be
an implicit violation of our compilation copyright, without licensing by PsL.
Vendors may not redistribute the program descriptions nor Reviews files in any
form, including distribution of electronic or printed copies of PsL News,
without licensing by PsL.
Vendors who also distribute via bulletin board systems may NOT make the PsL CD
available on-line. Such vendors may copy individual programs onto their BBS,
subject to the program copyrights, but not use PsL's name nor other copyright
materials in any way connected with such distribution.
LOCAL ACCESS OF THE PSL CD:
User groups, stores, libraries, etc, may copy individual files from the PsL CD
for redistribution on other media, subject to the program copyrights.
User groups and other non-profit organizations (eg: public libraries) may make
the PsL CD available for direct copying of files by users, subject to the
program copyrights. (Such organizations may wish to contact PsL for
information about volume discounts on PsL News, in order to be able to provide
users with a printed reference to the PsL CD.)
PsL's compilation, trademarks, and other rights are licensed to a single
machine. If you copy substantially all of the CD to a hard drive for
distribution or use PsL's trademarks or copyright material on a hard drive,
you may not then use the CD on a different machine or transfer the CD to
another individual to use.
For-profit enterprises may NOT make the PsL CD or substantial copies (eg: to a
hard disk) of the CD available for local copying without specific licensing
for this purpose by PsL. Failure to obtain such a license is a violation of
trademark and copyright laws.
