DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it,
you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on
details -- some request registration while others require it, some
specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get
anything from the simple right to continue using the software to
an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and
bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution.
The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
example, some authors require written permission before a
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting
your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because
the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the
ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you
don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of 'The Psychedelic ScreenSaver Collection' must accept
this disclaimer of warranty: 'The Psychedelic ScreenSaver
Collection' is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
consequential, which may result from the use of 'The Psychedelic
ScreenSaver Collection'."
'The Psychedelic ScreenSaver Collection' is a "shareware program"
and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel
free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away
altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-
supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive
for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find
this program useful and find that you are using 'The Psychedelic
ScreenSaver Collection' and continue to use 'The Psychedelic
ScreenSaver Collection' after a reasonable trial period, you must
make a registration payment of $20 to NorthStar Solutions. The $20
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer
at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book.
An example is that this software may be used by any number of
people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at
one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book
cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of 'The Psychedelic ScreenSaver Collection' must
register and pay for their copies of 'The Psychedelic ScreenSaver
Collection' within 30 days of first use or their license is
withdrawn.
