TADS: The Text Adventure Development System - Version 2.2
Copyright (c) 1992 by Michael J. Roberts.
All Rights Reserved.
SHAREWARE REGISTRATION NOTICE
This software is provided as "shareware." It is not free. If you decide
to keep and use TADS, a shareware registration fee is required. If you do
not keep TADS, please give your copy to someone else who might.
The shareware registration fee is $40.00 (US dollars). Please see
the file ORDER.FRM for more information on ordering this and other High
Energy Software products.
In addition to receiving the right under the shareware license to use
TADS, registered owners will be sent the TADS Author's Manual, which
provides full documentation of the system, and the TADS Debugger,
an advanced source-level debugging tool that lets you step through
your game programs line by line, set breakpoints, and evaluate
program variables while the game runs.
Shareware keeps software costs low. Do your part to make shareware
a viable distribution mechanism. Register your shareware today!
SHAREWARE SOFTWARE LICENSE
This software is provided under a license agreement and may be used
only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the license and
with inclusion of the copyright notice. This software is the sole
property of Michael J. Roberts. No title to or ownership of this
software is hereby transferred.
The information contained in this software is subject to change without
notice and should not be construed as a commitment by the author.
You are hereby granted permission to use, reproduce, and distribute
this software subject to all of the following conditions:
1. You must include this license and the copyright notice with all copies.
2. You may not require or collect a fee for copies of this software,
or any part of this software, that you give to other people.
3. You may not include this software with any other software for which
a fee is collected.
4. You may not modify this software in any way, and each copy you make
and distribute must be a full and complete copy of the software you
originally received.
5. Anyone to whom you give a copy of this software receives all of the
same permissions that you did under this License.
6. You may evaluate this software for a reasonable period of time.
After this evaluation, you must either pay the author the licensing
and registration fee to become a registered user, or cease using
the software.
7. All games developed using TADS are the property of their respective
authors. Authors may distribute their games as they please. The
other conditions of this license notwithstanding, authors may
distribute the run-time system executable with their games on the
condition that the games are distributed non-commercially, and that
the run-time system executable's copyright message is not modified
or removed. For the purposes of this condition, "shareware"
distribution is considered non-commercial (and therefore allowed).
Shareware is software that is distributed free of charge (or for a
small charge covering the physical act of duplicating files and
shipping media), which users can freely copy and redistribute, and
for which a payment or donation is requested or required only when
the user has determined that the program fits his needs.
Anyone unable or unwilling to comply with any of the terms and conditions
of this license must destroy or otherwise discard all copies of this
software in his or her possession.
If you have any questions about this license, please contact us at
one of the addresses listed below.
NO WARRANTY
Because this software is distributed as shareware, you assume the entire
responsibility for determining whether the software fits your needs and
whether it functions properly.
Michael J. Roberts and any distributors of this software specifically
disclaim any and all warranties, expressed or implied, including but
not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for
a particular purpose, with regard to this software. In no event will
the author or any distributor of this software be liable to you for
any damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental
or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use
this software, even if any of these parties has been advised of the
possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party.
NOTE TO COMMERCIAL USERS
This License specifically prohibits charging a fee for this software or
any part of it, and also prohibits including or "bundling" this software
or any part thereof with other software for which a fee is charged.
Since the run-time system is required to play a game developed with TADS,
games must be distributed with the run-time system executable program
file. Persons who wish to distribute this software or any part of it
commercially should contact the author to arrange for permission to
do so. We are happy to allow commercial use of our software, but we
wish to negotiate such arrangements on an individual basis.
Note that a special exception is made which allows free or "shareware"
distribution. If you are considering this type of distribution, but
you are unsure whether your distribution plans qualify, please contact
us so that we can discuss your plans. Generally speaking, shareware is
software that is distributed in the same manner as TADS: users may freely
copy and redistribute the software free of charge, and people who find the
software useful are requested or required to pay a registration fee or
send a donation to the author.
