-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- VENDINFO USE AUTHORIZATION
-
- The attached VENDINFO data record is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Any distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements expressed
- in that data record is hereby authorized
-
-
- 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.
-
- LICENSE INFORMATION
-
- The OWShare product is provided as licensed source code for the target
- development environment specified in the order. One license must be
- purchased for EACH DEVELOPER who writes shareware for the licensee using
- the target development environment. If you have three VB developers in
- your shop working on shareware, you need THREE OWShare licenses, even if
- only one developer "specializes"in "wrapping" the shareware shell onto
- the product functionality.
-
- Conversely, a one-person shop requires only ONE copy of OWShare, even if
- they release ten programs a year.
-
- The licensee is free to use and to modify for use the product source
- code EXCEPT to produce a "shareware shell" product in competition with
- OWShare. In addition, the licensee agrees not to divulge the methods
- used in the OWShare code to unlicensed third parties.
-
- TO CLARIFY, THIS MEANS YOU WILL NOT INTRODUCE A PRODUCT WHICH COMPETES
- WITH OWSHARE AFTER HAVING OBTAINED THE OWSHARE SOURCE CODE - EVEN IF THE
- OWSHARE CODE IS NOT ACTUALLY USED IN THE COMPETING PRODUCT. IF YOU DO
- NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THIS CONDITION, PLEASE DON'T ORDER THE PRODUCT!
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of OWShare accept this disclaimer of warranty: OWShare 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 OWShare.
