We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to distribute our shareware in its original, unaltered form as long as you 1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition) 2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place ....and as long as we do not request you to stop. You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution, and we do not want to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our mutual customer. If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales, please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that customers do not understand shareware.

We also provide updates to all distributors who are named by registered users as their source.
