- ARJ LICENSE POLICY September 1999
-
-
- The ARJ archiver, the REARJ program, the ARJSFX module, the ARJSFXJR
- module, the ARJSFXV module, the ARJ$DISP program, the DEARJ program,
- and the associated documentation are copyright (c) 1990-99 ARJ
- Software, Inc., all rights reserved. The ARJ software may not be
- circulated in any incomplete or modified form, nor sold for profit,
- without written permission of ARJ Software, Inc. ARJ (tm) is a
- trademark of ARJ Software, Inc.
-
- If you distribute this software to others, you are REQUIRED to
- distribute the ENTIRE package in its ARJ-SECURITY envelope. Because
- of the requirements of some file distributors, you MAY wrap this
- ARJ-SECURED package inside another archive such as within a ZIP
- archive. However, you may NOT distribute the individual files
- RE-ARCHIVED. This requirement is to ensure the integrity of the
- software to the end user. RE-ARCHIVAL could allow corrupted files
- or viruses to be distributed "in our name".
-
- You may NOT distribute the registered versions of ARJ.EXE, REARJ.EXE,
- or DEARJ.EXE except as noted in your ARJ license agreement.
-
-
- As a brief description of ARJ, we suggest the following:
-
- "ARJ (tm) is file archiver that compresses files into a disk space
- saving archive. It is fast, reliable, and has a rich set of features
- which include Windows 95/98 long filename support, file version
- management, data damage protection, ANSI escape sequence display
- handler, configurable command options, multiple volume archives
- (archives that span diskettes) and much more."
-
-
- The use and/or sale of ARJ, ARJ$DISP, DEARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV,
- and ARJSFXJR (ARJ package) is subject to the following terms:
-
-
- ARJ / ARJ32 PRODUCTS:
-
- ARJ and ARJ32 are two different products from ARJ Software, Inc.
- For licensed use, a separate license is required for each product.
- ARJ is intended for DOS and Windows 95/98. ARJ32 is intended for
- Windows 95/98/NT.
-
-
- PERSONAL USE:
-
- For personal use (at home and non-commercial), ARJ, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV,
- 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.
-
- Instead, we ask that you share the ARJ software with a friend.
-
- 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.
-
- The user who registers receives several benefits:
-
- * Technical support by telephone, fax or mail. You can get help
- with any questions or problems you encounter in using ARJ.
-
- * A REGISTRATION KEY that provides:
-
- The REGISTERED full version of ARJ.
-
- The REGISTERED full version of REARJ.
-
- The REGISTERED full version of DEARJ.
-
- * Legal use of the software in a business, commercial, institutional,
- and government environment.
-
- * The satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the development
- of good, affordable software.
-
-
- BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS), WEB SITE, AND FTP SITE USE:
-
- ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on commercial and non-commercial
- electronic file distribution sites (computer bulletin board systems,
- WEB sites, FTP sites and so on) for the purpose of distributing *.ARJ
- archive files (not including ARJ self-extracting archives). The ARJ
- shareware distribution archive (ARJnnn.EXE) may be freely distributed
- by these sites.
-
- ARJ and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial electronic file
- distribution sites 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.
-
-
- INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL INTERNAL USE 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 INTERNAL USE LICENSE for the internal
- use of the ARJ software is included at the end of this document.
- Please see the ORDERFRM.TXT 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. While
- you are in the process of registering ARJ, you may continue to use
- the unregistered ARJ program until you receive the registered
- version.
-
- The INTERNAL use license does NOT license the inclusion of the ARJ
- software with a hardware/software package that is distributed
- EXTERNALLY.
-
- The unlimited SINGLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits ARJ internal use
- for an unlimited number of computers/users at one street address. This
- definition of a SINGLE LOCATION SITE is subject to change. The
- unlimited MULTIPLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits ARJ internal use for
- an unlimited number of computers/users at all locations.
-
- Each computer that uses ARJ, DEARJ, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV, 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 INTERNAL 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.
-
- Examples of EXTERNAL commercial use of ARJ:
-
- 1) Using ARJ as a included backup program for an accounting package
- that you sell to customers.
- 2) Using ARJ as a compression and decompression program in a home
- banking package that you give to your bank customers.
- 3) Using ARJ as a backup program for clients that you support as a
- consultant.
-
- The above examples should NOT be considered the ONLY types of
- institutional or commercial use of ARJ.
-
-
- 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, ARJ$DISP, ARJSFX, ARJSFXV, 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 in total.
- 2) The approximate value/price of the package.
- 3) A brief description of the software/hardware.
- 4) A description of how ARJ will be used in the distribution.
- In other words, is the self-extractor being used or is ARJ's
- multiple volume (-v) feature required.
-
- If you wish to use the archiver ARJ or the conversion program REARJ
- in your application software, the pricing is similar to the INTERNAL
- LICENSE price schedule. Please write for terms.
-
-
- 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/ARJSFXV/ARJSFXJR modules in software to
- create self-extracting ARJ archives that are to be distributed
- requires a distribution license.
-
-
- 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
- charitable activities and the intended use for ARJ. A free license
- 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 faith and ethics 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 DEARJ (not the same as UNARJ).
-
- Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire ARJ package
- in an unmodified form when included in a CD-ROM shareware collection.
- Moreover, permission is freely given for the use of the ARJ software
- to view and/or install CD-ROM shareware collections where the entire
- ARJ package is included. No special license is required nor will a
- special license be granted.
-
- With these exceptions, 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.
-
-

-
- Registered/licensed users of ARJ may upgrade ARJ to the next DOT
- release (2.7 to 2.8, etc.) by downloading the new versions from the

- will be valid for the next DOT release of ARJ.
