- ARJ LICENSE POLICY April 1993
-
-
- The ARJ archiver, the REARJ program, the ARJSFX module, the ARJSFXJR
- module, the DEARJ program, the ARJR program, and the associated
- documentation are copyright (c) 1990-93 Robert K Jung, all rights
- reserved. The ARJ software may not be circulated in any incomplete or
- modified form, nor sold for profit, without written permission of the
- author.
-
- If you distribute this software to others, you are required to
- distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files:
-
- ARJ.EXE
- ARJ.DOC
- ARJ_BBS.DOC
- ARJBACK.BAT
- ARJREST.BAT
- ARJINCR.BAT
- ARJSORT.BAT
- ARJSORT.COM
- ARJSORT.DOC
- CREDIT.CRD
- ERRORS.DOC
- INTRO.DOC
- LICENSE.DOC
- ORDERFRM.DOC
- README.DOC
- REARJ.CFG
- REARJ.DOC
- REARJ.EXE
- REARJALL.BAT
- REGISTER.EXE
- TESTARJ.BAT
- UPDATE.DOC
- WHATSNEW.DOC
- WHY_ARJ.DOC
-
- We strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format
- originally released: ARJ###.EXE (### = version) with the ARJ-SECURITY
- envelope as created by the author. 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 an archiver that produces the smallest or nearly the smallest
- archive files. It is very fast and has a rich set of features which
- include convenient file directory handling, file generations, text
- searching, archive recovery, 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/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, DEARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX, and ARJSFXJR
- (ARJ package) is subject to the following terms:
-
-
- PERSONAL USE:
-
- For personal use (away from the office and non-commercial), ARJ,
- ARJSFX, and 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.
-
- 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.
-
- If you find the ARJ package useful, you are encouraged to register
- your copy: INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION ... $40 (US).
-
- The user who registers receives several benefits:
-
- * Technical support by telephone or mail. You can get help with any
- questions or problems you encounter in using ARJ.
-
- * The opportunity to order the latest version of ARJ and ARJ upgrades
- on disk directly from the author.
-
- * The opportunity to order the latest versions of REARJ, ARJR, DEARJ,
- and UNARJ C source code. Most of these are only available to
- registered users.
-
- * The satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the development
- of good, affordable software.
-
-
- BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS) USE:
-
- ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial computer bulletin
- board systems 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.
-
- A subscription BBS is not necessarily considered a COMMERCIAL BBS. A
- BBS that is operated to make money is considered a COMMERCIAL BBS. A
- BBS operated by a business for the purposes of the business is
- considered a COMMERCIAL BBS.
-
-
- INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL SITE 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 SITE 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. If you register 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 ARJ software
- with a hardware/software package that is distributed externally.
-
- For the purposes of this license, a SITE is considered a group of
- computers/users provided primary technical support from one location.
- This definition of a SITE is subject to change.
-
- Each computer that uses ARJ, ARJSFX, 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 construed as 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/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, ARJSFX 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 per year or in total.
- 2) The number of diskettes required before and after compression.
- 3) The approximate value/price of the package.
- 4) A brief description of the software/hardware.
- 5) A description of how ARJ will be used in the distribution.
-
- If you wish to use the archiver ARJ or the conversion program REARJ in
- your application software, the pricing is similar to the INTERNAL SITE
- 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

- 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 ethics and faith 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).
-
- With this single exception, 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.
-
-
- CUSTOM VERSIONS OF ARJ:
