- - - - - - Distribution Policy - - - - -
-
- Dear Shareware Vendor:
-
- This file contains our distribution policy and information on
- all products.
-
- Dustbowl Designs, Inc. has a simple distribution policy: You have
- permission to distribute our shareware in its original form as long as
- you:
-
- * identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)
-
- * leave all intellectual property (copyright) notices in place
-
- ..and as long as we do not request that you stop.
-
- That's it.
-
- You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional
- files (like this one), include them with other programs on the same
- diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you follow
- these simple rules. We want the widest possible distribution, and
- don't want to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our
- mutual customer.
-
- We insist that you include all files with the same name (4_SPEED.EXE,
- 4_SPEED.DOC) in your distribution together with the file DBOWLDEM.EXE.
- You may choose to include all or a part of this file with your
- distribution at your option.
-
- Our normal distribution sequence is:
-
- 1 New versions are offered to our registered users and are
- automatically shipped to new registrants.
-
- 2 New versions available on our homebase BBS Dustbowl Designs,
- Inc. BBS 405/741-2721, CompuServe Information Service (go
- IBMHW).
-
- 3 All ASP distribution members are included in the regular ASP
- mailing. This saves both of us both money and effort; if you
- are not an ASP vendor or bulletin board member, please
- consider joining.
-
- 4 Then, we send copies of major revisions of software to non-ASP
- vendors who have notified us of their interest. If you are a
- catalog house, send us a copy of the catalog in which the
- program appears, together with a copy of the diskette(s)
- containing the program(s) you wish to distribute; we will send
- you a copy of any major updates to our software. If you run a
- bulletin board, send us a diskette(s) containing the
- program(s) you wish to distribute, and your mailing address,
- and we will update the diskette and mail it back to you.
-
- International: If you are a publisher interested in translating
- and supporting our products in another language, please contact us to
- discuss an exclusive agreement for your language and country. If you
- are interested in providing registration and support services outside
- of North America in English, we are interested in working with you on
- a non-exclusive basis.
