- Software Distribution System -- Distribution Decision #003
- Software Package: Remote Access BBS, QuickBBS
- Intended Distribution Area: All
- Date: October 23, 1993
-
- It has been decided by the SDS RC Council by unanimous vote that both
- the Remote Access BBS software package (also known more popularly as
- RA) and the QuickBBS software package are both commercial software
- packages. Consequently, they are both ineligible to be distributed
- via SDS since they violate the following section of SDS_PP&G:
-
-
- Software packages submitted into the SDS must meet certain
- criteria for distribution. In all cases, the regional SDS
- coordinator has the authority to accept software, or to reject it,
- based on his judgment as to suitability.
-
- Specifically, the SDS shall carry any software which is public
- domain, and/or shareware, which is submitted and which is judged
- to be of sufficient interest to the network as a whole.
- Submissions may be rejected based on any of the following reasons:
-
- 1. The software submitted is not public domain or
- shareware, and has restrictions on the distribution of
- the product. Commercial software is one example of
- software which can not be accepted into the Software
- Distribution System (for obvious reasons).
-
-
- Henceforth, submissions of RA or QuickBBS will not be accepted of carried
- via the SDS network. This ruling only applies to the RA and QuickBBS BBS
- software packages. Utility software written for these packages will be
- judged for submission to SDS per SDS_PP&G on an individual basis by the
- SDS RC to whom it is submitted.
