The PC-SIG Library 13th Edition
Electronic Bulletin Board System License
The use of The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM on electronic bulletin board
systems (BBS) is prohibited without a license from PC-SIG, Inc. This
License Agreement is between PC-SIG, Inc. and the BBS operator whose
signature appears at the end of this Agreement. In return for the
limited right to use The PC-SIG Library, the BBS Licensee agrees to
the provisions of this License. This Agreement allows the BBS Licensee
to use The PC-SIG Library for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of
this License, or until the next PC-SIG upgrade to the CD-ROM.
1. PC-SIG's copyright covers the research, editing,
organization and compilation aspects of PC-SIG Library
diskettes and CD-ROMs as well as any individual programs or
descriptive materials which are the original creation of
PC-SIG. Unless otherwise specified, PC-SIG does not claim
literary rights in individual programs which have been
licensed for use.
2. This License Agreement allows the BBS Licensee to use
PC-SIG's name, diskette numbering system and corresponding
titles, and PC-SIG developed text files including, but not
limited to, diskette descriptions, and BBS specific files.
3. BBS Licensee agrees to respect the author's copyright
notices on the Shareware software and PC-SIG's copyrights
and trademarks. PC-SIG's copyrighted materials include the

PC-SIG Hotsheet, and Shareware Magazine.
4. The BBS Licensee must have the capability, and agree, to
deny access to any program, file, or diskette on their BBS
system that has been withdrawn from The PC-SIG Library.
Notification of program, file, or diskette withdrawal from
The PC-SIG Library will be published in "Shareware Magazine".
It is the responsibility of the BBS Licensee to monitor the
above publication and to maintain their BBS according to the
current distribution status as reflected in those publications.

6. BBS Licensee agrees not to download files and/or programs from a
PC-SIG diskette or The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM disc with
the intent to sell the copy. Downloading is defined as the
process of copying or duplicating a PC-SIG Library diskette
or The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM disc onto other media,
including, but not limited to, diskettes, hard drives,
magnetic tape or optical disc, for the intentional or
unintentional purposes of sales, distribution or financial
gain.

downloading and/or viewing any portion of The PC-SIG Library.
BBS Licensee may, as a whole, restrict access to all the

BBS systems, PC-SIG does not guarantee the compatibility of
The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM with any particular BBS system.
9. If Licensee violates any provisions of this Agreement,
PC-SIG can terminate this License and continued violations
will lead to subsequent legal action by PC-SIG, for violation
