Disclaimer and Legal Stuff
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What i will be telling you below you must understand and agree upon
BEFORE you use any part of the FEBBS-Package. The FEBBS-Package is
subject to the following license terms and conditions.
* The FEBBS-package 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 the FEBBS-package.
* The FEBBS-package is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without high
prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
develop new products.
* The FEBBS-package, all programs, the documentation and support
files are copyrighted 1991 by Patrik Sjöberg. All rights are
reserved. You may copy this package for backup purposes. You may
also copy and share unmodified copies of the whole package,
providing that the copyright notice is reproduced and included on
all copies.
* You may not sell the product for a fee and/or distribute the
product along with other products without written permission, nor
may you modify or remove the Copyright Notices from the programs or
the documentation files. User clubs, if they are NOT commercial,
are allowed to ask a small amount of money for distribution and
storage when they want to share this package amongst their members.
* It is forbidden to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer,
decompile and/or disassemble the software in the FEBBS-package.
Patching the medium at places that carry the software is seen as a
program change and is also forbidden.
* Non-commercial users can get a licence for the usage up to this
release of the FEBBS-package for a small amount of money. Previous
registered users will receive a big reduction to upgrade to the newer
versions.
* Commercial usage of FEBBS will cost somewhat more. Also, a so
called 'closed' Bulletin Board System (a system where the user must
pay direct to the SysOp to get full access) has to pay more than a
Non-commercial user. Usage of the Febbs-Package on a BBS with 3
(three) lines or more is considered as 'closed bbs' usage also.

all depending on the environment where Febbs will be running.

Method of payment.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are several ways of transfering the license fee to me.
Common for all of them is that they should be made payable
to Patrik Sjöberg.
- By postal money order or international money order. Normal cheques
will cost me extra money to cash, so add SEK 20:- for transfer
if you use a cheque. The real rate for transfering a Foreign check
is SEK 50 :- so i am only charging you some of the amount for
this. The
