- COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION LICENSE AGREEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Information concerning non-commercial distribution (distribution is non-
- commercial if it is for free, or by a hobby, user or computer interest
- group to its members, or by any BBS) can be found in the help file and
- the "SWAPPER.TXT" file. The terms below outline requirements for
- commercial distribution. By "commercial distribution" or "commerically
- distribute" we mean to distribute for gain (such as, but not limited to,
- via traditional shareware catalogs, trade shows, or rack vending). This
- file will inform the potential commercial distributor as to whether or
- not they have been automatically granted such a license for their type of
- distribution (if not, special written authorization is required). Other
- important information is also presented.
-
- This is an agreement between you (either an individual or an entity) and
- CHECKBOX SOFTWARE. By commercially distributing copies of the shareware
- evaluation version of STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE, you are agreeing to be
- bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to the terms
- of this agreement, you may not distribute the shareware evaluation
- version of STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE.

-
- b) The catalog or listing must contain a statement to the effect
