CREDIT
Credit where credit is due. This document was inspired by the FSF General
Public License ("'c' for common noun", people !). However, it is not that
licence, and items covered by this licence are not covered by the FSF
licence.
APOLOGIA
I have tried to write this document in Real English, rather than any legal
argot (dictionary definition: "The language of thieves"). So when I say
"spade", please read "groundsoil restructuring implement".
DEFINITIONS
The "Software" is the release of the Family API library for Borland C++
and OS/2, the Shareware version of which I have uploaded to Mission
Impossible BBS and Abacus Vortex BBS in the United Kingdom. "I" refers
to the copyright holder and "You" the licensee.
THIS LICENCE
I retain copyright over this licence. You may not alter it. However, I
grant you permission to use it in relation to any of your own works not in
any way already covered by it.
I retain copyright over the Software. However, I grant you this licence to
retain, copy, use, and redistribute it, subject to some conditions. If you
violate these conditions, you implicitly surrender all rights to the
Software.
If you exercise any or the rights to copy, use, or redistribute the
Software granted to you by this Licence, you implicitly indicate your
acceptance of its terms.
If you wish to redistribute the Software or a derivative under any other
terms and conditions, you must obtain written permision from me.
This Licence has a version number and date. Any Software covered by a
version of this Licence either states the version number or numbers that
are applicable, or should be considered to be covered by the latest
version of this Licence dated before the date of the Software.
Programs licenced under this licence fall into three categories, covered
by different versions of the licence : Shareware & Registered Software,
Non-Chargeable Software, and Source Licenced Software.
GUARANTEE or WARRANTY
There is no guarantee or warranty.
If you redistribute the Software, your relation to third parties is the
same as mine to you in this respect, unless you specifically issue a
warranty (in which case, do not involve me please), for which you may
charge a fee.
(Non-chargeable Software)
Since you have not paid any money for this version of the Software, there
is no guarantee or warranty, nor any promise that the Software is of any
merchantable quality, that it does what it is claimed that it does, not
even that it does anything at all.
The Software is supplied "as-is", and any risks you take by having or
using it are entirely your own. If anything happens to you, your machine,
your data, or your cat (for all I know) as a result of possession or use
of the Software, you have no legal redress, except any given to you by
statute of course.
COPYING, USE, MODIFICATION and REDISTRIBUTION
(Non-chargeable Software)
You may make as many copies as you like of the Software for archival and
security purposes, or redistribution.
You may only redistribute the original shareware form of the Software
without modifications, and may not transfer anything other than the whole
Software complete with documentation and licence.
You may not charge for redistribution other than for time and materials.
You may not modify, discompile, or reverse engineer the Software.
