9. Copyright and other legal stuff

This documentation may be copied and spread as long as the copyright note and this copy permission remains unaltered in all copies.

Future Drive Accelerator is shareware. In this case, that means that you need a personalized version of the program to use the full functionality of Future Drive Accelerator.

Users get a personalized version when they have registered with me. This personalized version may not be given to anyone else. To give away the personalized version or to use versions of the program which you did not get directly from me for your personal use, is considered sofware-piracy.

The personalized version may not be transfered, sold or exchanged to another person or organization. It is solely for the use of the registered person.

You may not use any "patches" for Future Drive Accelerator or publish them (regardless whether they are in text, binary or any other form), except with explicit permission by me for the purpose of updating. Using patched or modified versions of this program is considered software-piracy.

NO WARRANTY

Although the author has paid attention on security of data, compatibility and speed while developing this software, he can give no warranty that this program is 100% bug-free.

DISTRIBUTION

The is no upper limit for distributions costs (cost for disks, tapes or CD-ROMs, or for duplicating them). Such limits have proven harmful for the idea of free software. In some cases, software has been removed instead of lowering the price of a disk below the limit.

Although the author has not set such a limit, he wants to make clear his opinion on the topic:

This demo software should be available free to everyone, wherever this is possible.
If you bought this demo software under normal conditions from a PD dealer on a disk and paid more than 5DM/5$, you have certainly paid too much. Please don't support such practices and try to find a better and cheaper source for your software.
