- DavisWARE Liscense Agreement and Order Form
- (C) Copyright 1993 by James R. Davis
-
- Software written and distributed by James R. Davis will hereby be
- known as DavisWARE. Any references therein this document to DavisWARE
- will mean any software that has been written by James R. Davis and the
- copyright notification within the program itself. For the latest updates
- and full technical support call the Programmer's Mega-Source BBS at
- (516) 737-4637. You may also place your order directly on this BBS for
- faster response!
-
- DavisWARE is Copyrighted by James R. Davis as of October 1992 and
- is covered by US and International Copyright laws. The author reserves
- all rights.
-
- Liscense:
-
- You are granted a limited liscense to use DavisWARE for a thirty (30)
- day period for the purpose of evaluating it for your own use. After
- thirty days, you are required to either register DavisWARE or stop using
- it. To continue using it is a violation of copyright laws and just not a
- nice thing to do..
-
- The Shareware version of DavisWARE is NOT crippled in any way. There
- are no missing features or timers. The only differences between the
- registered and unregistered versions of DavisWARE are, the Shareware
- version places the word "UNREGISTERED" in the bulletin and displays the
- UNREGISTERED logo on the computer screen as part of the copyright
- notice, or within some programs a small feature may not be available.
-
- BBS Distribution:
-
- BBSs are granted a limited liscense to distribute DavisWARE in a
- compressed format. The distributing BBS is not limited to the type of
- compression method used for distribution. However, the BBS must follow
- the following guidelines:
-
- 1. If DavisWARE is distributed in a ".ZIP" file, the BBS must do it's
- best to preserve the "AV" that DavisWARE was compressed with by the
- author. If a BBS wishes to have DavisWARE sent to them directly
- from the author, please contact the author and a copy will be sent
- either by US Mail, or uploaded directly to the BBS. The sole
- exception to distribution of DavisWARE without the security "AV"
- placed by the author is where a BBS uses a program to validate their
- uploads that, as a part of validation, reZIP's the file for maximum
- compression (not necessary since the distribution archive from the
- author is created with maximum compression enabled).
-
- 2. No BBS may, in re-ZIPing DavisWARE, add to the ".ZIP" their own "AV"
- which does not belong to the author.
-
- 3. No BBS is authorized to add any files to the archive which are not
- part of the original DavisWARE archive as distributed by the author.
- The sole exception is where a BBS adds an ASCII text file (containing
- no ANSI codes of any type) as an advertisement, and the filename for
- the file has not and/or will not change, and the BBS does not "cycle"
- filenames for the purpose of "fooling" upload checking programs from
- other BBSs which remove such advertisements.
-
- 4. No user may be charged any additional fee just to download DavisWARE
- from the BBS.
-
- Shareware Vendor Distribution:
-
- This copyrighted software and its documentation is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN.
- However, DavisWARE may be distributed at no charge, or for a charge not to
- exceed $12 US to cover shipping and media costs. When secondarily
- distributed, DavisWARE must be in its original compressed form and
- accompanied by its full documentation. The distributed software and
- documentation may not have been modified in any way.
-
-
- No secondary distributor is authorized to "register" an individual
- copy of DavisWARE. Registration fees may only be sent directly to the
- author as outlined in the manual on disk. Note that the registration fee
- is exclusive of, and over and above any fees that may have been charged by
- a secondary distributor.
-
- A secondary distributor must notify it's customers that DavisWARE are
- shareware programs and that the fee payed by their customer does not
- include any fees owed the author for use of this program.
-
- A secondary distributor must notify the author of their intention to
- include this group of files in their distribution. A secondary distributor
- may be granted exceptions to these conditions, only in writing from the
- original author.
-
- The author reserves the right to change any of these conditions without
- notice and any changes become retroactive. Failure to abide by this liscense
- agreement may result in either Civil Lawsuit or Criminal charges being filed.
