- created or developed by the RAPTOR Development Team. In no way
- shall any of the members of the RAPTOR Development team, the
- RAPTOR Alpha /Support team, nor anyone else in any way related

- -------
- RAPTOR BBS System is not freeware or public domain. It is a
- copyrighted program released under the shareware concept of
- program distribution. You are granted a license to use the
- shareware release of RAPTOR for evaluation perposes only. The
- unregistered version of RAPTOR is limited to 10 file areas, 10
- message areas, and 50 users. If after a 45 day trial period you
- elect to continue to use RAPTOR BBS System, the program must be
- registered with the authors. Registration will unlock all the
- limited features of RAPTOR and also eliminate the delay at
- login. Reverse engineering, decompiling, or modifying RAPTOR BBS
- is expressly prohibited except that your personal copy of RAPTOR
- may be modified to the extent that the BBS.EXE and BBS.OVR may
- be 'hex edited', provided that no copyright information or
- version information is modified, and that the modified copy of
- RAPTOR may not be distributed. You are licensed to distribute
- copies of ONLY the Shareware version of RAPTOR BBS, provided
- that no charge, other than a disk copying fee will be charged
- for the software. In no way will this fee be more than $8.00 US.
- Charges for access to electronic bulletin board services will
- not be considered a disk copying fee and are exempt from this
- restriction. Commercially distributed shareware disks and
- CD-ROMS are also exempted from this restriction, however they
- must clearly state that RAPTOR BBS is shareware and any fees
- paid to the istributor do constitute registration, but merely
- compensate the distributor for his costs,and requires
- registration with the authors. Distribution of registered copies
- of RAPTOR, or registration and serial number information is

- Current registration policy for RAPTOR is a lifetime
- registration. What this means is that there will be no charge
- for upgrades. It will however be the licensees responsibility to
- obtain the upgrades, and the RAPTOR development team will accept
- no responsibility for informing licensees personally of new
- releases and updates. If the registration number algorithm
- changes for any reason it will be the liceses responsibilty to
- contact the development team and make arrangements to receive a
- new key, at no charge. It is entirely possible that the upgrade
- policy will change in the future, however the changes will only
- affect those licenssees who register AFTER the date the change
- takes effect. In other words if in the future policy changes
- require the purchase of an upgrade, any licensees who registered
- before that date will continue to receive free upgrades.
- Shipping, and media will be the responsibility of the licensee,
- and any additional products added to the registration package
- (printed manuals etc) will not be covered, but if desired will
- be available at additional cost.
