- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- End-User License
- ----------------
- All files in this archive are copyright 1991,1998 by Jason Strautman with
- all rights reserved. This agreement applies to all files transmitted in
- this archive and is applicable to all end users of this program.
-
- This archive may be used and distributed only under the terms set in this
- document. Any use or distribution of these programs other than what is
- authorized in these two files shall be considered a violation of
- intellectual property rights associated with the files in this archive
- and will result in appropriate civil and/or criminal action.
-
-
- A. Shareware Evaluation Copy
-
- The programs in this archive are not "freeware" or "public domain" --
- they are distributed under the shareware concept. Shareware gives you a
- limited right to use these programs for evaluation purposes only, and
- after the initial evaluation period is over, you are required to pay for
- the programs or stop using them. The evaluation period terminates after
- a period of 30 days or use of more than two UHS hint files with any
- combination of the programs.
-
- You may make copies of this archive to give to others, as long as you
- only distribute files included in this archive; distribution of any files
- intended for registered users is prohibited. (See the vendor
- distribution section of this file for if appropriate.) In no case may
- you edit or delete any files from this archive, and you must distribute
- all files in this archive as one piece.
-
- You may have been charged for an evaluation copy of this program -- and
- such fees are separate from the shareware fee for this program, and you
- must pay the full registration price regardless of how you received the
- program (except in cases of upgrades that I offer to registered users).
-
-
- B. Registration Information
-
- After you send in the appropriate fees for the programs that you
- register, you will be sent a registration code to disable any
- registration reminders and/or additional programs labelled as for
- registered users only. Use of this archive with a code and/or additional
- programs that you did not pay for shall be considered a violation of this
- license agreement. Distribution of such files shall also be considered a
- violation of this agreement.
-
- Registration information may not be transfered to others, and you may use
- registration codes for your own personal purposes only. Registration
- codes and other information for registered users may be installed and
- used on one system only at a time. Backup copies may be made of
- registration information, as long as such backups are available only to
- the primary registered user and registration information is available on
- only one computer.
-
- These restrictions apply to all registration information, regardless of
- whether or not it was purchased. No registration data that I have given
- for free, such as the incentives for writing hint files, may be
- distributed.
-
-
- C. Warranty

- THE SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT
- WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE
- OF THE SOFTWARE IS ASSUMED BY YOU.
-
- IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
- INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE
- PROGRAM OR ACCOMPANYING FILES, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
- POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE AUTHOR'S LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES SHALL
- NEVER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID TO THE AUTHOR FOR LICENSE TO USE THIS
- SOFTWARE.

- Vendor License
- --------------
- A. Shareware Vendors
-
- [1] The term "shareware vendor" (or simply "vendor") refers to any
- person or organization that charges for distributing programs by copying
- them to any form of tangible media now or subsequently known, either for
- profit or non-profit purposes.
-
- [2] Distribution through retail and wholesale stores requires specific
- written permission.
-
- [3] Additional files may be distributed on the same media as this
- archive only if these files are UHS hint files, readers, and compilers,
- or are files included by the vendor on most or all of its disks to meet
- specific distribution needs (i.e., decompression software or installation
- batch files).
-
- [4] No distributor may charge more than $8 US for this archive.
-
- [5] Vendors who distribute UHS files on disk(s) separate from this
- archive may not combine any UHS files with files that are not related to
- the UHS or that are not created by the vendor to meet its distribution
- needs. Vendors' entire collection of UHS files must be stored on a
- reasonably small number of disks; distribution of hint files over
- excessive numbers of disks is prohibited. No more than $8 US may be
- charged for any disk containing UHS files. These terms are a condition
- of distribution of this archive and apply to all UHS files written by any
- hint author.
-
- [6] These programs must clearly be labeled as shareware, either in a
- specific description, or in a general disclaimer that appears in the
- vendor's advertising materials. Vendors must state that this program
- requires separate payment to the author if users find it useful.
-
-
- B. On-Line Distributors
-
- [1] The term "on-line distributor" refers to any person or organization,
- including any bulletin board system or Internet site, that distributes
- this archive by electronic transmission or any other means not involving
- the distribution of tangible media.
-
- [1] The UHS and its related files may not be distributed by any
- Commercial On-Line Distributor without express permission of the author.
- "Commercial On-Line Distributor" means any on-line distributor which
- operates with the intent of making a profit and/or receives fees from its
- users based on an hourly rate and/or sells advertising on its service.
-
- [2] No on-line distributor may distribute this archive if it charges a
- fee specifically to access any UHS-related file. On-line distributors
- which have been given permission to distribute this archive by its author
- may charge standard connect fees or download fees but are prohibited from
- imposing any additional charges without express written permission.
-
- [3] Addition of any files to this archive is prohibited.
-
-
- C. General Requirements
-
- The following requirements apply to both on-line distributors and
- shareware vendors, and are in addition to any specific requirements for
- either bulletin boards or shareware vendors listed in this document.
-
- [1] "Distributor" refers to either a shareware vendor or bulletin board.
-
- [2] All files in this archive must be distributed unmodified, except in
- terms of the format used to compress this archive. A complete list of
- files to be distributed may be found in the VENDINFO.DIZ file.
-
- [3] The author retains exclusive rights to this archive, including all
- intellectual property rights and the rights to distribution of these
- programs. This license grants distributors who follow all the terms
- contained in this document only a non-exclusive non-transferable right to
- distribute files in this archive.
-
- [4] Right to distribute this archive may be terminated by written
- notice, and distributors must stop distributing this archive 45 days
- after the date of the notice. Termination of the right to distribute
- does not affect distributors' other duties in this license.
-
- [5] Giving of these programs to any distributor does not imply consent
- to any of the distributor's own terms that are in addition to or conflict
- with the terms of this license. Amendments to this license must be
- agreed to explicitly in writing by the author and a representative of the
- distributor.
-
- [6] No one may distribute any materials available only to registered
- users of these programs, including registration codes or any files or
- programs clearly labeled as reserved for registered users, nor may
- distributors offer to accept registration fees for these programs without
- specific written permission.
-
-
- D. Related Files
-
- Any distributor who follows the terms of this agreement shall be granted
- permission to distribute all publicly available files relating to the UHS
- that I have written or edited (as long as the copyright is in my name).
- Files which are intended only for registered users or are otherwise not
- designed for public distribution are not included in this permission.
-
-
- E. Miscellaneous
