- Actually, you get a 2 month trial period before you're required to register
- when joining WWIVnet.
-
- VBBS doesn't use the WWIV software but they DO use the WWIV-Network software
- which is also copyright protected by law. Systems that are Non-WWIV but which
- use the WWIV-Network software are required to register the network software (a
- lesser fee than registering WWIV itself) by the end of their two-month trial
- period.
-
- Systems which don't use WWIV-Network software are not required to register
- WWIV or the WWIV-Network software. An example of this is WWCP. If you use
- WWCP to gate a Waffle board into WWIVnet, you don't need to register anything
- with WWIV on the name.
