ARJ LICENSE POLICY December 1990
------------------
The ARJ archiver, the ARJSFX module and its documentation are
copyright (c) 1990 Robert K Jung, all rights reserved. They may not
be circulated in any incomplete or modified form, nor sold for profit,
without written permission of the author. If you distribute this
software to others, you are required to distribute the ENTIRE package
consisting of the following files:
README.DOC
ARJ020.EXE (in an ARJ-SECURITY envelope as created by the author)
The use and/or sale of ARJ and ARJSFX is subject to the following
terms:
INDIVIDUAL USE:
ARJ and ARJSFX may be freely used and shared with others. There is no
required registration fee for non-commercial personal use. However, if
you find ARJ of value, a gift of ten dollars or any amount would be
greatly appreciated.
BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS) USE:
ARJ may be freely used on non-commercial computer bulletin board
systems where ARJ is a primary archive format.
INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL SITE LICENSE:
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to
use ARJ/ARJSFX in the course of its business must purchase a SITE
LICENSE. A sample SITE LICENSE for the internal use of ARJ/ARJSFX is
included at the end of this document. Since ARJ 0.20 is officially a
test release, it is available for a limited license until the
commercial version is released. The commercial version release is
planned for January 1991. Please see the ORDER.FRM or write for terms.
DISTRIBUTION LICENSE:
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing
to include ARJ or ARJSFX as an integral part of a software and/or
hardware distribution must purchase a DISTRIBUTION LICENSE. Please
write for terms providing details of expected distribution numbers,
required diskettes before and after compression, a description
of the software/hardware and the specific ARJ software to be used in
the distribution.
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONAL USE:
To obtain the donation of a SITE LICENSE, please write providing
details of your organization's religious and charitable activities.
A free SITE LICENSE will be provided to qualifying organizations.
Qualifications will be determined on a purely subjective basis.
Non-qualifying organizations can always obtain a SITE LICENSE by
purchase.
COMMERCIAL SALE:
Any software dealer or library may distribute ARJ in an unmodified
form for a fee as long as the price charged for the disk containing
ARJ does not exceed US $10.00. With this single exception, the sale
of ARJ for profit, either alone or together with other software or
hardware, requires a licensing agreement providing for royalty
payments. Please write for terms.
ARJ-SECURITY ENVELOPE USE:
This feature is intended for software developers who wish to
distribute archived software with some assurance that the archived
software in a validated ARJ-SECURED archive will be secure.
Therefore, I reserve the right to limit the distribution of serial
numbers. Please see the ORDER.FRM or write for terms.

exceed the price paid for the license to use the software, regardless
of the form of the claim.
