- All Rights Reserved. COM-AND is published by: CABER Software, P.O.Box 3607
- MDSE MART, Chicago, IL 60657-0607, USA.
-
- Nonprofit user group libraries, educational institutions, individuals or
- BBSes are free to redistribute COM-AND with a reasonable fee for copying
- disks. This file states CABER Software's policy for the distribution of
- copies of COM-AND by commercial Disk Vendors. Please note that this policy
- for distribution of COM-AND applies only to commercial Vendors.
-
- A commercial Vendor is required to obtain written permission from CABER
- Software before placing COM-AND in a library, unless the Vendor has been
- approved by the Association of Shareware Professionals and has notified
- CABER Software that it wishes to distribute COM-AND.
-
- Before CABER will release a distribution copy of COM-AND and give permission
- distribute it, a Vendor must meet ONE of the following two conditions:
-
- 1. Send a copy of standard written materials (catalogs, flyers, ads, etc.)
- which clearly explain the shareware concept, the need for users to
- register shareware products they use, and the fact that the price of
- disks, that the user pays to you, is a copying fee ONLY and does not
- constitute payment for the product. The material must also clearly
- differentiate between Shareware and Public Domain software.
-
- NOTE: it is not sufficient to tell CABER these issues are explained
- to customers in person; it must be clearly reflected in textual form.
-
- 2. Become an Approved Vendor of the Association of Shareware Professionals
- ASP). For more information on the ASP vendor program, contact ASP at:
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- Vendor Certification Committee
- P.O. Box 5786
- Bellevue, WA 98006
-
-
- If not already an ASP approved Vendor, it is strongly recommended that you
- become an ASP approved vendor. The ASP vendor program provides an important
- service for both authors and vendors, and promotes customers confidence that
- reasonable standards are met in the distribution of shareware products.
-
- It necessary that Vendors meet one of the two conditions above in order to
- qualify for shareware distribution of COM-AND, due to a widespread confusion
- about shareware in the marketplace, and the occasionally troublesome prac-
- tices of some parties. Please feel free to contact CABER if there are any
- questions or comments on our product or our policies.
