- This is a license agreement which permits an Amiga software developer
- or publisher to include files from the ARP distribution with their
- Amiga software releases.
-
- ARP is Copyright (c) 1987,88,89 by ARP Authors, which is represented
- for this license agreement by Microsmiths, Inc. The ARP distribution
- includes executable files, an Amiga "library", and documentation for
- users and programmers of the various components.
-
- ARP Authors have granted permission for these files to be freely
- redistributed in their original unmodified form so that the files can
- be available as BBS distributions as well as on diskettes. The current
- versions of these files are "ARPREL3.ZOO", "ARPDOC3.ZOO",
- "ARPPRO3.ZOO", and "ARPLIB3.ZOO", as of September '89. The restriction
- that the archived "ZOO" files must not be modified in any way is to
- help to insure the integrity of the ARP release, both to insure the
- files are accurate and complete and to assist in describing exactly
- what users should look for to find any particular part of the ARP
- release.
-
- By returning this signed contract, Amiga software vendors are granted
- permission to include de-archived versions of the files with their
- diskette releases of software. Most frequently this will be to include
- the file "arp.library", which may be necessary for the vendor's program
- to run.
-
- No license is required unless actual materials from the ARP release are
- included, or substantial trade based on the ARP name is made.
- Developers do not need permission for use of "arp.library" unless
- arp.library is included with a software distribution.
-
- The vendor may also choose to include the executable programs from the
- ARP release, or the user documentation. This contract grants
- permission to distribute any of the files from the four "ZOO" files
- described above on diskette releases as discreet files, provided the
- following conditions are met:
-
- ************************************************************************
-
- (1) None of the files may be modified in any way; the files should be
- copied to the master diskette as de-archived from the original ZOO
- files, or as otherwise provided directly by ARP Authors. To insure
- integrity, the original ZOO files should be obtained from one of the
- sources which ARP Authors have directly supplied with the files; these
- are the telecommunications services BIX, CompuServe, and PeopleLink.
-
- (2) No more than 50 copies of any documentation provided by ARP Authors
- may be printed, as noted elsewhere in the ARP distributions. Please
- contact ARP Authors for permission to print more than 50 copies of any
- part of the ARP documentation. ARP Authors and Microsmiths, Inc.
- retain commercial rights for any products which are substantially
- related to "ARP"; this license grants permission to use ARP materials
- within products which do not substantially relate to ARP. Please
- contact ARP Support regarding if you have any question about what this
- license covers; we will be glad to discuss commercial rights for
- products which are directly related to ARP but grant no rights in this
- license agreement.
-
- Commercial vendors of "public domain" software should contact ARP
- Support about sales of "ARP" diskettes. Permission is granted to
- non-commercial vendors of "public domain" software, such as users
- groups, to include the official ARP release materials on diskette
- provided that the materials included are either the original unmodified
- ZOO files, or the complete unmodified contents of one or more of the
- ZOO files, which are clearly separated on the diskette from other
- materials not provided as part of the ARP materials. We request that
- such vendors return this license so that ARP Support can contact the
- vendors regarding new releases of any of the ARP materials.
-
- (3) This license is only for distribution on diskette; if files are to
- be transmitted via modem, they must be provided in their original ZOO
- format. The file "ARPLIB3.ZOO" is recommended for vendors who wish to
- include "arp.library" with a BBS distribution of software, as it is
- much smaller than the full "ARPREL3.ZOO" file. Our recommendation is
- to document that arp.library is needed, and where to find it, rather
- than actually including any of the ZOO files with BBS distributions,
-
- If a developer/publisher determines it is necessary to include
- "arp.library" directly in their ARCHIVED files, permission is granted
- to include the unmodified "ARPLIB3.ZOO" file within the archives, if
- the following conditions are met:
-
- - This license agreement is signed and returned
- - The author includes a copying restriction clause similar to the
- clause in the ARP ZOO files, allowing copying of the files only only
- in the original, unmodified archived format.
- - The author includes the line "The ARPLIB3.ZOO file in this archive
- is included with permission from Arp Authors, and may not be copied
- except in it's original unmodified file."
- - The author provides a list of all places where the author will post
- any archives which include ARPLIB3.ZOO.
-
- (4) This license agreement makes no legal committment binding to either
- Microsmiths, Inc. or ARP Support. The licensee assumes all risk
- regarding fitness of use of any of the ARP materials, or any other
- liability issues. The sole legal committment in this agreement is
- permission from ARP Authors to include the materials described above
- for which ARP Authors claim copyright.
