ARJ LICENSE POLICY April 1991
------------------
The ARJ archiver, the REARJ program, the ARJSFX module, the ARJSFXJR
module, and its documentation are copyright (c) 1990,91 Robert K Jung,
all rights reserved. The ARJ programs may not be circulated in any
incomplete or modified form, nor sold for profit, without written
permission of the author.
The ARJ archiver may contain proprietary processes for which patent
rights may be sought by the author.
If you distribute this software to others, you are required to
distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files:
UNARJ.ARJ - containing UNARJ C source code
ARCHIVE.BAT
ARJSORT.BAT
EXTRACT.BAT
TEST_ARJ.BAT
AV.C
AV.EXE
ARJ.EXE
ARJ.DOC

HISTORY.DOC
REARJ.CFG
REARJ.DOC
REARJ.EXE
README.DOC
RESULTS.DOC
TECHNOTE.DOC
LICENSE.DOC
UPDATE.DOC
WHATSNEW.DOC
ORDER.FRM
I strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format
originally released: ARJ200.EXE with the ARJ-SECURITY envelope as
created by the author.
The use and/or sale of ARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX, and ARJSFXJR (ARJ package)
is subject to the following terms:
INDIVIDUAL USE:
With one exception, ARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX, and ARJSFXJR may be freely
used and shared with others. The program REARJ may only be freely
used by ARJ users. An ARJ user is one who uses ARJ on a regular
basis. Others who wish to use REARJ must purchase a site license for
the ARJ package. With the one exception, there is no REQUIRED
registration fee for non-commercial personal use. The use of the ARJ
package to improve a profit making enterprise is considered commercial
use.
However, if you find the ARJ package of value, a gift of ten dollars
or any amount would be greatly appreciated. Please remember that
improvements to the ARJ package cannot happen without your support.
Support the shareware concept.
BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS) USE:
ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial computer bulletin
board systems where ARJ is one of the supported primary archive
formats. The use of ARJ and/or REARJ on a BBS where ARJ is not one of
the supported primary archive formats requires a site license.
INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL SITE LICENSE:
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing
to use ARJ/REARJ/ARJSFX/ARJSFXJR in the course of its business must
purchase a SITE LICENSE. A sample SITE LICENSE for the internal
use of ARJ/REARJ/ARJSFX/ARJSFXJR is included at the end of this
document. Please see the ORDER.FRM or write for terms.
DISTRIBUTION LICENSE:
Standard file archives (*.ARJ) created by ARJ may be distributed
without charge.
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing
to include ARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX, or ARJSFXJR as an integral part of a
software and/or hardware distribution must purchase a DISTRIBUTION
LICENSE.
Shareware authors who wish to distribute their software product with
the ARJ self-extractor modules ARJSFX or ARJSFXJR can take advantage
of a PAY-AS-YOU-GROW pricing schedule. Since most shareware is
distributed to innumerable potential customers, I feel that it is fair
to charge in relation to successful registrations of your product
using ARJSFX or ARJSFXJR. There is a minimum license charge that
covers both freeware use and a minimum number of paid registrations.
As the success of your shareware product grows, additional licenses
will need to be purchased. This will amount to a small fee per
successful customer registration. In other words, if you never sell
more than 100 registrations, you will have only paid for one
distribution license. However, if you have 900 customers registering
your product; then, you will have purchased one distribution license
and 8 supplemental licenses for 8 groups of 100 registrations. Please
see the ORDER.FRM for current pricing.
For other applications, 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 and/or DISTRIBUTION LICENSE,
please write providing details of your organization's religious and
charitable activities and the intended use for ARJ. A free license
will be provided to qualifying organizations. Qualifications will be
determined on a purely subjective basis. Non-qualifying organizations
can always obtain licenses by purchase.
COMMERCIAL SALE:
Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire ARJ package
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 or its parts for profit,
either alone or together with other software or hardware, requires a
licensing agreement providing for royalty payments. Please write for
terms.
UNARJ SOURCE CODE:
You may freely use the UNARJ C source code provided the end product is
NOT a file archiver. This source code is intended to promote the
building of utilities to support the use of ARJ and ARJ archives.
ARJ SOURCE CODE:
The ANSI C source code for ARJ may be obtained under a license
arrangement with a non-disclosure policy.
The portability of the source code has been demonstrated by ports to
two disparate operating systems. The same code worked flawlessly on
both machines. One is a Big-endian and the other is a Little-endian.
One uses 16 bit INTs and the other uses 32 bit INTs. The vanilla
version should compile and run under most ANSI C compilers with little
or no modification. A K&R version may soon be available.
Please write for terms.
ARJ-SECURITY ENVELOPE USE:
This feature is intended for but not limited to software developers
who wish to distribute archived software with some assurance that the
archived software in a validated ARJ-SECURED archive will be secure.
I reserve the right to limit the distribution of serial numbers.
This feature may ONLY be used by those who have purchased a serial
number.
Please see the ORDER.FRM or write for terms.
