- GENERAL 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
- 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.
-
- CDPlayer 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 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. If you find this program useful and find that you are
- using CDPlayer and continue to use CDPlayer after the 30 day trial period, you
- must make a registration payment of £15+p&p UK pds (p&p is £3 UK pds for UK
- residents and £6 UK pds for oversease registrations) to Jupiter Software. The £15
- 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.
-
- Anyone distributing CDPlayer for any kind of remuneration must first contact
- Jupiter Software at the address shwon in the README file and Manual.
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of CDPlayer along to your friends for
- evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
- they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest
- version of the CDPlayer system.
