- ARJ LICENSE POLICY October 1997
-
-
- The ARJ archiver, the REARJ program, the ARJSFX module, the ARJSFXJR
- module, the ARJSFXV module, the ARJ$DISP program, the DEARJ program,
- the ARJR program, and the associated documentation are copyright (c)
- 1990-97 ARJ Software, Inc., all rights reserved. The ARJ software
- may not be circulated in any incomplete or modified form, nor sold
- for profit, without written permission of ARJ Software, Inc.
-
- If you distribute this software to others, you are required to
- distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files:
-

- ARJCRYPT.COM [DELETED FROM EXPORT VERSION ARCHIVE]
-
- We strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format
- originally released: ARJ###.EXE (### = version) with the ARJ-SECURITY
- envelope as created by ARJ Software, Inc. If you must distribute the
- ARJ archive in another archive format, please archive the ARJ###.EXE as
- one file inside the other archive. Re-archival of the software as
- separate files means losing the ARJ security envelope.
-
- As a brief description of ARJ, we suggest the following:
-
- "ARJ is a file archiver that compresses files into a disk space saving
- archive. It is fast, reliable, and has a rich set of features which
- include Windows 95 long filename support, file version management,
- data damage protection, ANSI escape sequence display handler,
- configurable command options, multiple volume archives (archives that
- span diskettes) and much more."
-
- You may NOT distribute the registered version of ARJ or the registered
- version of REARJ or any version of ARJR, and DEARJ except as noted in
- your ARJ license agreement. ARJR is the ARJ program minus the help
- screens and SFX/SFXV/SFXJR modules. DEARJ is the ARJR program minus
- the archive modification/creation functions. ARJR and DEARJ are
- available only to registered and licensed users. See the ORDERFRM.DOC
- for ordering information. Those who have made donations to ARJ may
- upgrade to a full registration with full credit for your previous
- donation(s). Please note the previous donation on your order as a
- reminder.
-
- The use and/or sale of ARJ, ARJR, ARJ$DISP, DEARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX,
- ARJSFXV, and ARJSFXJR (ARJ package) is subject to the following terms:
-
-
- PERSONAL USE:
-
- For personal use (at home and non-commercial), ARJ, ARJSFX, and
- ARJSFXV, ARJSFXJR may be freely used and shared with others. There is
- no REQUIRED registration fee for non-commercial, non-business,
- non-institutional, non-government personal use. Instead, we ask that
- you share the ARJ software with a friend.
-
- For personal use, the program REARJ may be freely used only by ARJ
- users. An ARJ user is one who uses ARJ on a regular basis. Others
- who wish to use REARJ must purchase a registration for the ARJ
- package.
-
- The user who registers receives several benefits:
-
- * Technical support by telephone, fax or mail. You can get help
- with any questions or problems you encounter in using ARJ.
-
- * The REGISTERED full version of ARJ.
-
- * The REGISTERED full version of REARJ.
-
- * The latest version of ARJR, DEARJ, and UNARJ C source code.
- Most of these are only available to registered users.
-
- * The non-demo multiple volume self-extraction module.
-
- * The non-demo self-extract module command line option customization
- feature.
-
- * The satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the development
- of good, affordable software.
-
-
- BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS), WEB SITE, AND FTP SITE USE:
-
- ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on commercial and non-commercial
- electronic file distribution sites (computer bulletin board systems,
- WEB sites, FTP sites and so on) for the purpose of distributing *.ARJ
- archive files (not including ARJ self-extracting archives). The ARJ
- shareware distribution archive (ARJnnn.EXE) may be freely distributed
- by these sites.
-
- ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial electronic file
- distribution sites where ARJ is one of the supported primary archive
- formats. The use of ARJ and/or REARJ on a BBS where ARJ is not one of
- the supported primary archive formats requires a registration or site
- license.
-
- Support of ARJ involves allowing ARJ archives as uploads AND making
- ARJ archives available as downloads.
-
-
- INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL INTERNAL USE LICENSE/REGISTRATION:
-
- Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to
- use the ARJ software in the course of its internal business must
- purchase an ARJ registration or SITE LICENSE. Any individual wishing
- to use the ARJ software within a corporation, institution, government
- agency or business must purchase an ARJ registration or SITE LICENSE.
- The SITE LICENSE is provided for those who want to use ARJ on multiple
- computers. A sample INTERNAL USE LICENSE for the internal use of the
- ARJ software is included at the end of this document. Please see the
- ORDERFRM.DOC or write for terms.
-
- Any corporation, institution, government agency or business may use
- the unregistered shareware version of ARJ only for evaluation purposes
- and only for a thirty day period. After the thirty day period, you
- must either register ARJ or discontinue its use. While you are in the
- process of registering ARJ, you may continue to use the unregistered
- ARJ program until you receive the registered version.
-
- This internal license does NOT license the inclusion of the ARJ
- software with a hardware/software package that is distributed
- externally.
-
- The unlimited SINGLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits ARJ internal use
- for an unlimited number of computers/users at one street address. This
- definition of a SINGLE LOCATION SITE is subject to change. The
- unlimited MULTIPLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits ARJ internal use for
- an unlimited number of computers/users at all locations.
-
- Each computer that uses ARJ, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV, or ARJSFXJR in any way
- requires licensing. In addition, computers that are being backed up
- with ARJ via a file server require licensing. For example, if
- computer Z's data is copied to a file server and that file server uses
- ARJ to archive Z's data, then computer Z needs to be licensed for ARJ.
-
- Examples of institutional or commercial use of ARJ:
-
- 1) Using ARJ to backup your business programs and/or data.
- 2) Using ARJ to create archives for storing or transporting business
- data.
- 3) Using ARJ on a company supplied home computer for company
- business.
- 4) Using ARJ to backup your research programs and/or data.
- 5) Using ARJ on your home business computer for business purposes.
-
- The above examples should NOT be considered the ONLY types of
- institutional or commercial use of ARJ.
-
-
- SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION USE BY INDIVIDUALS:
-
- The use of ARJ to create an ARJ format archive (*.ARJ) for the purpose
- of distributing shareware or freeware to computer bulletin board
- systems IS NOT considered commercial use. However, any other use of
- ARJ in connection with a shareware product is commercial use. For
- example, using ARJ to backup shareware source code is commercial use.
-
- The inclusion of the ARJSFX/ARJSFXV/ARJSFXJR modules in software to
- create self-extracting ARJ archives that are to be distributed
- requires a distribution license.
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION LICENSE:
-
- Standard ARJ format archives (*.ARJ) may be distributed without a
- license. The UNARJ.EXE program distributed separately may be freely
- used and distributed without a license.
-
- Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to
- include DEARJ, ARJ$DISP, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV, or ARJSFXJR (self-extracting
- ARJ archives) as an integral part of a software and/or hardware
- package to be distributed externally must purchase a DISTRIBUTION
- LICENSE. The use of ARJ on one computer to build the software and/or
- hardware package is included in the DISTRIBUTION LICENSE.
-
- The above requirement does NOT apply to those who did NOT initiate
- the inclusion of the ARJ software with the software and/or hardware
- package.
-
- Please write for terms providing your distribution details:
-
- 1) Expected distribution numbers in total.
- 2) The approximate value/price of the package.
- 3) A brief description of the software/hardware.
- 4) A description of how ARJ will be used in the distribution.
- In other words, is the self-extractor being used or is ARJ's
- multiple volume (-v) feature required.
-
- If you wish to use the archiver ARJ or the conversion program REARJ
- in your application software, the pricing is similar to the INTERNAL
- LICENSE price schedule. Please write for terms.
-
-
- RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONAL USE:
-
- To obtain the donation of a SITE LICENSE and/or DISTRIBUTION LICENSE,
- please write providing details of your organization's religious and
- charitable activities and the intended use for ARJ. A free license
- will be provided to qualifying organizations. Qualifications will be
- determined on a purely subjective basis. Non-qualifying organizations
- can always obtain licenses by purchase.
-
- Non-religious non-profit organizations promoting causes that do not
- conflict with our personal faith and ethics may also qualify for a
- free license.
-
-
- COMMERCIAL SALE:
-
- Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire ARJ package
- in an unmodified form for a fee as long as the price charged for the
- disk containing ARJ does not exceed US $10.00. You may NOT distribute
- any version of ARJR or DEARJ (not the same as UNARJ).
-
- Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire ARJ package
- in an unmodified form when included in a CD-ROM shareware collection.
- Moreover, permission is freely given for the use of the ARJ software
- to view and/or install CD-ROM shareware collections where the entire
- ARJ package is included. No special license is required nor will a
- special license be granted.
-
- With these exceptions, the sale of ARJ or its parts for profit,
- either alone or together with other software or hardware, requires a
- licensing agreement possibly providing for royalty payments. Please
- write for terms.
-
-
- UPGRADE POLICY FOR ARJ:
-
- Registered/licensed users of ARJ may upgrade ARJ to the next DOT
- release (2.1 to 2.2, etc) for a small diskette fee. See the
- ORDERFRM.DOC for details. UNLIMITED SITE LICENSE holders will get
- unlimited free ARJ upgrades.
-
- This upgrade policy applies ONLY to the ARJ archiver.
-
-
- UNARJ SOURCE CODE:
-
- Available in a separately distributed archive is the program UNARJ.EXE
- and its C source code. UNARJ is a simple ARJ archive extraction
- program.
-
- You may freely use, copy, and distribute UNARJ.EXE, provided that no
- fee is charged for such use, copying or distribution.
-
- This source code is intended to promote the building of utilities to
- support the use of ARJ and ARJ archives.
-
-
- ARJ-SECURITY ENVELOPE USE:
-
- This feature is intended for but not limited to software developers
- who wish to distribute archived software with some assurance that the
- archived software in a validated ARJ-SECURED archive will be secure.
- We reserve the right to limit the distribution of ARJ-SECURITY serial
- codes.
-
- This feature may ONLY be used by those who have purchased an
- ARJ-SECURITY serial number.
-
- Please see the ORDERFRM.DOC or write for terms.
