- 2. Limited Distribution License
- -------------------------------
- As the exclusive copyright holder for EDDY, John Scofield authorizes
- distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions:
-
- BBSs and ASP Approved Vendor members in good standing are hereby given
- permission to distribute EDDY. Non-ASP member vendors must request
- permission prior to distributing this package.
-
- The EDDY package -- including all related program and documentation
- files -- CANNOT be modified in any way and MUST be distributed as a
- complete package, with the following specific exceptions:
-
- 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 package is otherwise unmodified and complete.
-
- Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or
- installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors,
- are acceptable.
-
- The EDDY package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
-
- You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or
- other literature which describes our products as "FREE" or "PUBLIC
- DOMAIN" software. Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software; it is NOT
- free, and it IS copyrighted. It is most certainly NOT public domain.
-
- No price or other compensation may be charged for EDDY. A reasonable
- fee may be charged to cover the actual costs of the distribution media,
- shipping and handling.
