- Definition of Shareware
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
- buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
- are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details - some
- request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
- trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple
- right to continue using the software to an updated program with
- printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
- the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and
- bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
- author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
- software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
- example, some authors require written permission before a
- commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
- it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting
- your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because
- the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the
- ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you
- don't pay for it.

- Disclaimer Agreement
-
- Users of 'CD/Spectrum Pro' must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- 'CD/Spectrum Pro' is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
- warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The
- author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
- which may result from the use of 'CD/Spectrum Pro'. 'CD/Spectrum Pro'
- is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user
- for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please
- do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The
- essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
- users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
- incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
- find this program useful and find that you are using 'CD/Spectrum Pro'
- and continue to use 'CD/Spectrum Pro' after a reasonable trial period,
- you must make a registration payment of $20 to NorthStar Solutions.
- The $20 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
- computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a
- book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of
- people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another,
- so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location
- while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by
- two different persons at the same time.
