- becomes successful the agreement brings id into the revenue stream.
-
- Basic terms of the commercial exploitation license:
-
- -- License grants a royalty free commercial exploitation right for the
- registered version of Quake as a whole so long as Quake's monthly gross
- revenue is below $5,000.00
-
- -- License provides for a 12.5% royalty to be paid to id Software in months
- where the licensee's Quake related monthly gross revenue is above $5,000.00
-
- -- Royalty is based off net income. Net income is defined as Quake-related
- gross income less Quake-related expenses.
-
- -- License expressly prohibits commercial exploitation via the sale (retail
- or otherwise) of the shareware or registered versions of Quake.
-
- -- License expressly prohibits advertising/marketing use of our copyrighted
- and/or trademarked properties.
-
- To get into bed with us on this deal you must print two (2) copies of the

- printing your two copies. If we cannot read your information we will not be
- able to return the documents to you.
-
