DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
"Airdrums" Program and Graphics Copyright 1995 DiBona Associates.
"Uncle Larry Software" is a trademark of DiBona Associates.
"Microsoft" is a Registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
"Windows" is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
"Sound Blaster" is a trademark of Creative Technology Ltd.
All trademarks of other companies are the property of their respective
companies and are used for identification purposes.
Users of AirDrums must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"AirDrums is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of AirDrums."
AirDrums is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using AirDrums and continue to use
AirDrums after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $35.00 to Uncle Larry Software.
The $35.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Anyone distributing AirDrums for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Uncle Larry Software, DiBona Associates at
the address above for authorization.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of AirDrums along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the AirDrums
system.
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it,
you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details,
some request registration while others require it, some specify a
maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated program
with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
