- PUBLIC DOMAIN AND SHAREWARE LIBRARIES
-
- Distributors of "public domain" or user-supported software libraries
- must obtain written permission to distribute copies of SOFTRAK. No
- one may use SOFTRAK as a promotion for any commercial venture or as
- an enticement for the user to pay for any program, product, or service
- unless they have received the express written permission of the
- program's author.
-
- In order to distribute SOFTRAK, a dealer or disk vendor must comply
- with the following conditions:
-
- (1) You must obtain written permission from Eggshell Software to
- distribute SOFTRAK, or have received SOFTRAK directly from
- EGGSHELL SOFTWARE. Please use the vendor application at the
- end of this document if you did not receive this program
- directly from EGGSHELL.
-
- (2) A maximum disk fee as set by Eggshell Software in the vendor
- contract must not be exceeded. SOFTRAK may not be included
- on any disk sold for more than this maximum. Major CD-ROM
- or optical disk libraries are exempt from this restriction,
- provided that they have the author's permission to distribute
- SOFTRAK.
-
- (3) Vendors may not modify or delete ANY files on the disk.
- Vendors may add a "GO" program, and/or a reasonable number
- of small text files designed to assist or provide a service
- to the user, but these added files must be easily identifiable
- and end-users must be allowed to delete the added files.
-
- (4) Vendors must make a reasonable effort to distribute only the
- most recent versions of SOFTRAK. All vendors who have
- requested and received written permission to distribute
- SOFTRAK will receive new MAJOR releases as they are issued.
-
- (5) Vendors should make an attempt to educate users on the nature
- of Shareware. Catalogs, advertisements, order forms, and all
- disks sold should contain wording describing the nature of
- shareware, and should explicitly state that no part of disk
- sale revenues are paid to the programs' authors. When vendor
- catalogs or advertisements carry both Shareware and PD
- programs, the Shareware programs must be differentiated from
- the public domain programs in some way (in the description,
- with an asterisk, by listing the registration fee, etc.).

- NOTE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE DEALERS:
-
- To verify that you are a legitimate shareware vendor, we request that
- you include a copy of your product catalog with this application. Once
- you have been approved, you will receive written permission from
- Eggshell Software to include SOFTRAK in your library for distribution.
- Additionally, you will receive a diskette containing the latest
- SOFTRAK release.
-
- We would also like revisions of your catalog as they are published.
- The main reason behind this is that a mailing list of active vendors
- will be maintained. Our continued receipt of your catalog will both
- enable us to verify that you have the most recent SOFTRAK release
- (within reason), as well as know that your business is still active.
-
- When major revisions are made to the program, we will send you the
- latest upgrade so that your library may be kept up to date.
