All rights are reserved. DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION ------------------------ Roseling Software seeks to distribute its shareware as widely as possible. However, we want the end-users of our software to be properly informed that it is shareware. You must fully identify all Roseling Software programs in your advertising, by the program's full name and version, and indicate the registration fee in the program description. The words Roseling Software must appear in all program descriptions. All advertising and packaging information including references to Roseling Software products must contain a statement explaining the shareware concept. Specifically, that statement must explain that shareware software MUST be registered by the user, after a trial period, by paying a registration fee, All such statements must be clearly displayed in a position where they are likely to be read by potential customers. 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. 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. =============================================================================
