PiGAS SECURITY 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, at the same time, provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products.
Any user of the PiGAS SECURITY program must register (see section 6)
and pay for his copy within 30 days of first use, or their license
will be withdrawn.
The $25 registration fee will license one copy for use on any computer
at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. For
example, this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is
no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used
at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons
at the same time.
