This document explains the rights and obligations of users for use
of the shareware and registered copies of software written by
Gregorian Programmers Guild. In the following document:
* "us" or "we" refers to the Gregorian Programmers Guild (henceforth
GPG), an autonomous business group based in Montreal, Quebec.
* "you" are the user of the program(s) offered by GPG
* "program", "package" and "software package" refers to the GPG
software product(s) forming the dwm software package, which
you have purchased or obtained as shareware for evaluation purposes,
as well as other supporting documentation and materials.
* "Shareware copy" refers to a copy of a program distributed by us or
through means which we have authorized, and is intended for evaluation
purposes. Shareware versions of the dwm package are identified as such
in the dwm dialog box.
* "Registered copy" refers to a copy of a program purchased from us, or
from an authorized dealer, or a shareware copy that has been registered
by branding the shareware with a registration code provided by GPG.
Registered copies of GPG software are identified as such in the dwm
dialog box.
This is a legal agreement which outlines the conditions for using the
software products offered by GPG. If you are unable to abide by the
agreement, or do not agree with the terms of the agreement, you should
not use our programs. The executable programs dwm, dobs, vern, blanch and
dnote, the supporting documentation, as well as any additional GPG utility
programs are fully protected by copyright under Canadian law and by
international treaty provisions. The software and copyrights are owned by
GPG. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any of
the dwm programs.
GPG LICENSE.TXT Page 1
The software package offered by GPG contains programs with capabilities
designed to manage working environments and files. Failure to follow
documentation, or improper use of the programs can result in deletion,
damage to, or loss of files. The user assumes full responsibility
for choosing to use GPG software (see liability notice, below).
Shareware copies of GPG software may be used for a trial period
of up to 21 days, in order to evaluate the software package before
purchasing it. The evaluation period begins when you first install
the program on one or more computers (as many as is necessary for
purposes of evaluation). After the 21 day period expires, you agree
to either buy a registered copy of the program, or to discontinue use
of the program on all machines used to evaluate it. If you decide to
buy the program, you may continue to use your shareware copy until
your registered copy arrives. If you are evaluating a shareware
copy of GPG programs, you are free to make copies of the software
package for distribution to other users, providing you include all
the files you received with your shareware copy. You agree to inform
the recipient that the shareware is for a limited time evaluation
purpose only, and they must buy a registered copy of the program if
they wish to continue using it after the evaluation period expires.
You further agree not to sell shareware copies of GPG software,
nor receive any kind of fee or compensation for distributing copies.
Note, licensed shareware dealers should refer to the file VENDOR.TXT
supplied with the distribution. BBS administrators should refer to the
file BBS.TXT for GPG policy for bulletin boards.
Registered copies may be bought directly from GPG, or through an
authorized software dealer. Shareware users also have the option of
converting shareware copies into registered versions using a registration
code provided by GPG. Registered copies may be purchased for
use on individual computers, or for multiple computers through a
site license registration. Single registered copies are for use on a
single computer, and may also be installed on a portable computer
owned by the licensee, providing the computers are not generally in
use at the same time. If you purchase a multi-system license, or
network site license, you agree not to use the software on
more computers than indicated on your license or invoice of the
licensed GPG product at any one time. Registered copies of GPG
software diskettes may be duplicated for normal backup purposes.
You agree not to make other copies of the software, or any part
of them, and agree not to sell or give away registered copies of
the software to others, without our advance written permission.

LIMITED WARRANTY: GPG products are provided with a limited warranty,
which only applies to registered copies of the software. This warranty
does not apply to shareware copies of the program. Disks and manuals we
send to you will be free of physical defects which interfere with normal
use of the product. If you discover such a defect, and bring it to our
attention within 90 days of purchase, we will replace the item(s)
free of charge, providing the defect was not caused by misuse or
abuse. We cannot guarantee that the software will be completely free
of bugs or program errors. Any bugs or errors brought to our attention
will be dealt with. If a corrected error merits a maintenance release,
registered users will receive notice of the new release, as well as
details of the problem addressed and corrected. If you are dissatisfied
with the product you buy from us, you may return it at any time up to
90 days after purchase for a refund. Refunds will be based on the
price you paid, less shipping costs. You must contact us before
sending us any product for a refund. This satisfaction guarantee and
refund offer does not apply to multi-system licenses or network site
licenses for more than 10 computers, or to purchase of more than 10
individual copies.

OUT OF USE OF THE PROGRAM OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, INTERUPTION OF BUSINESS,

SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY.
