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. 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.
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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of MYF must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
MYF 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 consequential, which may result from
the use of MYF."
MYF 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. 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 MYF and continue to use MYF after a reasonable
trial period, you must register. The 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 MYF for any kind of remuneration may contact MYF
Software to make sure they have the latest version. You are encouraged
to pass a copy of MYF along to your friends for evaluation. Please
encourage them to register their copy if they find they can use it.
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware
related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly,
ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical
support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve message via
easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
