Straffan Production Company, LTD.
LICENSING AGREEMENT
=============================================================================
The file, LICENSE.DOC, describes the only terms by which Straffan Production
Company Limited permits other parties to distribute this program throghout
the world.
General terms:
1. Distribution by modem:
Straffan Production Company Limited allows and encourages all bulletin board
systems and online services to distribute this game by modem as long as no
files are altered, added or removed. If a distribution fee is charged for
this software, you must additionally ensure that:
A. Straffan Production Company Limited is credits as the publisher of
the file.
B. The file is identified as shareware.
C. The shareware concept is explained adequately elsewhere online.
D. You charge less than $4 for downloading this shareware program.
2. Distribution of single programs by floppy disk:
Shareware vendors may distribute this program alone on floppy disks if the
following conditions are met:
A. You explain the shareware concept and describe this program as shareware.
(Shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software, and the price paid to you by
users for shareware is a distribution charge only. They must still
purchase a full copy from Straffan Production Company Limited).
B. You credit Straffan Production Company Limited as the publisher of this
software in all catalog descriptions and any other written descriptions.
C. You sell the software for less than $10, and only sell the most current
version of it (please contact us for the latest version).
D. You may not replace our installation routines with your own.
E. No other programs may be included on the floppy disk that contains this
program, i.e. no bundling or multi-program diskettes. Your "on-line"
catalog is the only acceptable addition to this software on diskette, and
should be included on a seperate diskette from our distribution package.
F. No files are modified or deleted.
3. CD-ROM "Multi-Bundle" Shareware Discs
If you wish to commercially distribute this program on a CD-ROM (through
mail-order, wholesale, retail, or any other channels), you need to follow
these terms and conditions:
A. You explain the shareware concept in FULL detail and describe this
program as being shareware. The fees/price that users pay for your disc
do not include the purchase of the software contained therein.
B. You credit Straffan Production Company Limited as the publisher of this
software in all catalogs and program descriptions.
C. The entire CD-ROM or collection may contain no more than a total of 10
programs (not including installation routines and support utilities).
D. The front-cover packaging must contain the word "Shareware" in large type.
It must, as printed, be at least 1 full inch tall and must be no less than
1.5 inches wide.
E. The name Straffan Production Company, LTD., as well as the names of all
Straffan Production Company Limited or COGnition Development Team
products included on the CD-ROM, must appear on the front-cover packaging
in sufficiently large type.
F. No files may be modified or deleted.
G. You must send us two copies of the CD-ROM as soon as it has been
manufactured.
Reasons for these conditions: We appreciate CD-ROM distribution when it
is focused on bringing users a few top shareware products at a good price.
But the numerous 10,000-program CD's that are hitting the stores aren't
helping Straffan's authors and distributors achieve their goal of getting
high-quality distribution and registrations.
So, please don't include this software on a gigantic CD-ROM stuffed with
programs. But do consider doing a small, high-quality CD-ROM that focuses
on a few good products - that will bring in good sales for both you and us,
and that will make us all happy.
4. Any distribution in a retail environment:
Any party wishing to sell Straffan Production Company or COGnition
Development Team products in a retail environment must meet all of the above
conditions that apply, in addition to the following:
A. The following must be included in large type on the front cover of all
packaging: The name, "Straffan Production Company, LTD.," the name
of this program, and the word "Shareware."
B. You must send us two copies of your packaging for every Straffan
Production Company or COGnition Development Team product you distribute
as soon as the packaging has been manufactured.
5. Bundling with hardware:
You may bundle Straffan Production Company products, shareware version only,
with new hardware (computers, sound cards, etc.) as long as you don't
modify or delete any program files, and as long as you provide the shareware
programs free of charge (i.e. at no additional cost) to the user when the
hardware is purchased.
If you'd like more information about OEM and hardware bundling opportunities,
please contact us! We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with
hardware manufacturers and resellers.
6. Other distribution opportunities:
Please contact us if you would like to distribute Straffan/COG shareware
products in a new and unique way. We are open to new opportunities, and we
appreciate new and unique forms of distribution as a way of reaching new
customers.
7. Violation of the agreement:
If you distribute this software in violation of the terms of this agreement,
you are liable to Straffan Production Company Limited for damages of not
less than $10 per copy distributed or the registration fee, whichever is
greater.
