Distribution Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Limited Distribution License:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for Jixxa, Rhode Island Soft
Systems authorizes printed catalog, and electronic (BBS) on-line
distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions.
(CD-ROM and "rack" vendors refer to following section).
o The Jixxa package is defined as containing all the
material listed in the PACKING.TXT text file. If any files
listed in the PACKING.TXT text file, or the PACKING.TXT file
itself, are missing, then the package is not complete and
distribution is forbidden. In such an event, please contact
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. to obtain a complete package
suitable for distribution.
o The Jixxa package - including all related program
files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any
way (other than that mentioned in the following paragraph)
and must be distributed as a complete package, without
exception. The PACKING.TXT text file contains a list of
all files that are part of the Jixxa package.
VENDOR.TXT - Distribution Information Page 1 of 3
o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file
(advertisement) to each archived file. This text file
describes the BBS and tells people that the file was
downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a
small one-line message with their BBS name and phone
number into the compressed file, which will display when
the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of
mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used,
provided the program and documentation is otherwise
unmodified and complete.
o Small additions to the package, such as the introductory
or installation batch files used by many shareware disk
vendors, are acceptable so long as they identify themselves
as being added by the distributor, and not part of Jixxa.
The files may be archived into a single distribution file
in accordance with the restrictions listed in DESCRIBE.TXT
(ie. archive's filename).
o No price or other compensation may be charged for the Jixxa
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the
diskette, shipping, and handling, as long as the total (per disk)
does not exceed US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00
Internationally.
o In order to maximize resources, Vendors often provide several
different programs/packages on a single disk -- this is perfectly
acceptable to Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. We require that
the Jixxa files be bundled in such a way as to be presented
as distinct and separate from those of other packages. Archiving
our distribution files into a single file (in accordance with
guidelines set forth in DESCRIBE.TXT) is a suggested method of
accomplishing this goal.
o Rhode Island Soft Systems prohibits the distribution of
outdated versions of the Jixxa package, without written
permission from Rhode Island Soft Systems. If the version
you have obtained is over nine (9) months old, please
contact us to ensure that you have the most current
version. Please see the release date at the top of this file.
o Distributors carrying Jixxa must inform Rhode Island
Soft Systems, Inc. of the intent to distribute Jixxa (a
post card will suffice) and must cease distribution immediately
upon receipt of a written request from Rhode Island Soft
Systems, Inc. (should we request cessation of distribution).
o The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in
part, using any means, without the written permission of Rhode
Island Soft Systems. In other words, the disk-based documentation
may not be distributed in PRINTED (hardcopy) form.
VENDOR.TXT - Distribution Information Page 2 of 3
o You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs,
or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE".
Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
o The Jixxa package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive
package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software
packaging offer, without a written agreement from Rhode Island
Soft Systems.
o Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify,
decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or
transfer the licensed program except as provided in this
agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in
immediate and automatic termination of this license.
o U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or
disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software
and documentation in this package shall be subject to the
restricted rights applicable to commercial computer
software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the
Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at
252.227-7013 (DFARS 52.227-7013). The
Contractor/manufacturer is Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc.
PO Box 748, Woonsocket, Rhode Island 02895.
CD-ROM and/or "Rack" Vendors:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Any distributor who wishes to include Jixxa on a CD-ROM
must contact Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. for explicit,
individual permission prior to any such inclusion.
o CD-ROM Vendors must adhere to all items in the previous
section.
o Jixxa may not be sold in retail locations. This includes
"Rack" Vendors wishing to sell Jixxa in stores on shareware
racks or displays. An exception is granted to Gold Medallion
Software, Inc. of Scottsdale, AZ.
All rights not expressly granted here are reserved to Rhode Island
Soft Systems, Inc.
