ORGADISK Shareware Disk Vendor Documentation
Version 1.51, 01/05/1993

This file provides information for shareware disk vendors and user
groups on the distribution of ORGADISK.
We are glad to work with you in the distribution of our product, as
user groups and disk vendors are an important part of the shareware
distribution system.
We do require that you obtain written permission from us before
placing ORGADISK or any part of the ORGADISK package in any shareware
or other disk library, or distributing shareware copies for a fee in
any way. However if you are a shareware disk vendor approved by the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP), or a non-profit,
tax-exempt user group, you may place a shareware copy of ORGADISK in
your library without prior written permission, provided you notify us
within 15 days of doing so; and for shareware disk vendors, provided
your application has been fully approved in writing by the ASP, and is
not simply submitted or awaiting review.
If you are an ASP-approved vendor or non-profit user group and you
prefer to carry only shareware obtained directly from the author,
please write us and we will send you ORGADISK on diskette at no
charge. Please send us one copy of your catalog or other standard
materials explaining shareware along with your notice that ORGADISK
has been placed in your library or your request for a copy of
ORGADISK. We would also appreciate being placed on your mailing list
if possible.
If you aren't an approved ASP vendor or a non-profit user group,
before we can send you a copy of ORGADISK and give you permission to
distribute it we need you to send us a copy of your standard written
materials (catalogs / flyers) which clearly explain the shareware
concept, the REQUIREMENT that users register products they use, and
the fact that the price of your disks is a copying fee only and does
not constitute payment for the product. The material must also
differentiate between shareware and public domain software.
We aren't concerned with what language you use or how concise or
detailed the information is, but it must explain these basic concepts
or we will not be confident that users are fully informed about what
they are (and are not) purchasing.
It is not sufficient to state that you explain these issues to
customers in person, it must be reflected in your written materials.
We strongly recommend that you consider becoming an ASP approved
vendor if you have not already done so. The ASP vendor program
reduces the workload for both authors and vendors, and helps give
customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
distribution of shareware products. You can obtain information on
this program from:
Association of Shareware Professionals
545 Grover Road
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427, USA
We are sorry for any inconvenience this policy may cause you, but we
have found it to be necessary due to widespread confusion in the
marketplace and the occasionally troublesome practices of some
vendors. We look forward to working with you in the future, and
please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments
on our product or our policies.
