Shareware License and Agreement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright 1991 by McDermott Computer Services Limited. All rights reserved.
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. okictrl
requires registration within 30 days of first use and, in
return, you get a number of benefits (see the REGISTER.WHY
file).
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.
DISCLAIMER
Users of okictrl must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"okictrl 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 okictrl."
SHAREWARE LICENSE AND AGREEMENT
okictrl 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 piece-meal, 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.
Private Individuals may use okictrl without registering it. Companies,
Government agencies, non profit institutions are required to
register this product inorder to contrinue to use it. If you
find this program useful and find that you are using okictrl and
continue to use okictrl after a 30 day trial period, you must
make a registration payment of $10.00 to McDermott Computer
Services Ltd. Registration forms can be found in the text file
ORDER.FRM.
The $10.00 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. Site
licenses and other multiuser arrangements may be made by contacting
McDermott Computer Services.
Anyone distributing okictrl for any kind of remuneration must
first contact McDermott Computer Servies at the address below
for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to ASP approved vendors. However, McDermott Computer Services
Limited must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of okictrl.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of okictrl along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.
