JAR LICENSE POLICY August 1997
The JAR archiver (JAR16 and JAR32), the encryption modules (JAR_C.COM
and JAR_C.DLL), the REARJ program, and the associated documentation are
copyright (c) 1990-97 ARJ Software, Inc., all rights reserved. The JAR
software may not be circulated in any incomplete or modified form, nor
sold for profit, without written permission of ARJ Software, Inc. The
JAR software refers to the package of JAR16.EXE, JAR32.EXE, JAR_C.COM,
JAR_C.DLL, and REARJ.EXE. The word JAR refers to the JAR software
unless otherwise indicated.
If you distribute this software to others, you are required to
distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files:
AGENTS.DOC
CREDIT.CRD
CONVPROT.BAT
ERRORS.DOC
README.DOC
FILE_ID.DIZ
INTRO.DOC
JAR.CFG
JAR.DOC
JAR16.EXE
JAR32.EXE
JARBACK.BAT
JARINCR.BAT
JARREST.BAT
JAR_C.COM
JAR_C.DLL
LICENSE.DOC
ORDERFRM.DOC
REARJ.CFG
REARJ.DOC
REARJ.EXE
TECHNOTE.DOC
TESTJAR.BAT
WHATSNEW.DOC
WHY_JAR.DOC
SAMPLE.J
NOTE: The export version of this distribution archive does NOT
contain the encryption modules, JAR_C.COM and JAR_C.DLL, per USA
export regulations.
We strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format
originally released: JAR###.EXE (### = version) with the ARJ-SECURITY
envelope as created by ARJ Software, Inc. If you must distribute the
JAR archive in another archive format, please archive the JAR###.EXE as
one file inside the other archive. Re-archival of the software as
separate files means losing the ARJ security envelope.
As a brief description of JAR, we suggest the following:
"JAR is a file archiver that compresses files into a disk space saving
archive. It is fast, powerful, reliable, and has a rich set of
features which include outstanding data compression, Windows 95/NT
long filename support, file version management, data recovery
protection, multiple volume archives (archives that span diskettes)
and much more."
You may NOT distribute the registered version of JAR except as noted in
your JAR license agreement.
The use and/or sale of the JAR software package is subject to the
following terms:
PERSONAL USE:
For personal use (at home and non-commercial), JAR 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 JAR software with a
friend.
For personal use, the program REARJ may be freely used only by JAR
users. A JAR user is one who uses JAR on a regular basis. Others who
wish to use REARJ must purchase a registration for the JAR package.
The user who registers receives several benefits:
* Technical support by telephone, fax, email, or mail. You can get
help with any questions or problems you encounter in using JAR.
* Full access to all of the features of JAR via a registration serial
number.
* The use of the JAR-SECURITY envelope for data authentication.
* The satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the development
of good, affordable software.
BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS), WEB SITE, AND FTP SITE USE:
JAR 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 *.J
archive files. The JAR shareware distribution archive (JARnnn.EXE)
may be freely distributed by these sites.
JAR and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial electronic file
distribution sites where JAR is one of the supported primary archive
formats. The use of JAR and/or REARJ on a BBS where JAR is not one of
the supported primary archive formats requires a registration or site
license.
Support of JAR involves allowing JAR archives as uploads AND making
JAR archives available as downloads.
INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL INTERNAL USE LICENSE/REGISTRATION:
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to
use the JAR software in the course of its internal business must
purchase an JAR registration or SITE LICENSE. Any individual wishing
to use the JAR software within a corporation, institution, government
agency or business must purchase an JAR registration or SITE LICENSE.
The SITE LICENSE is provided for those who want to use JAR on multiple
computers. A sample INTERNAL USE LICENSE for the internal use of the
JAR software is included at the end of this document. Please see the
ORDERFRM.DOC or write for terms.
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business may use
the unregistered shareware version of JAR only for evaluation purposes
and only for a thirty day period. After the thirty day period, you
must either register JAR or discontinue its use. While you are in the
process of registering JAR, you may continue to use the unregistered
JAR program until you receive your registration serial number.
This internal license does NOT license the inclusion of the JAR
software with a hardware/software package that is distributed
externally.
The unlimited SINGLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits JAR 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 JAR internal use for
an unlimited number of computers/users at all locations.
Each computer that uses JAR in any way requires licensing. In
addition, computers that are being backed up with JAR via a file server
require licensing. For example, if computer Z's data is copied to a
file server and that file server uses JAR to archive Z's data, then
computer Z needs to be licensed for JAR.
Examples of institutional or commercial use of JAR:
1) Using JAR to backup your business programs and/or data.
2) Using JAR to create archives for storing or transporting business
data.
3) Using JAR on a company supplied home computer for company
business.
4) Using JAR to backup your research programs and/or data.
5) Using JAR on your home business computer for business purposes.
The above examples should NOT be considered the ONLY types of
institutional or commercial use of JAR.
SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION USE BY INDIVIDUALS:
The use of JAR to create an JAR format archive (*.J) for the purpose
of distributing shareware or freeware to computer bulletin board
systems IS NOT considered commercial use. However, any other use of
JAR in connection with a shareware product is commercial use. For
example, using JAR to backup shareware source code is commercial use.
DISTRIBUTION LICENSE:
Standard JAR format archives (*.J) may be distributed without a
license.
Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to
include JAR16, JAR32, JAR_C.COM, or JAR_C.DLL, or REARJ as an integral
part of a software and/or hardware package to be distributed externally
must purchase a DISTRIBUTION LICENSE. The use of JAR 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 JAR 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 JAR will be used in the distribution.
If you wish to use the archiver JAR or the conversion program REARJ
in your application software, the pricing is similar to the INTERNAL
LICENSE price schedule. Please write for terms.
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 JAR. 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 JAR package
in an unmodified form for a fee as long as the price charged for the
disk containing JAR does not exceed US $10.00. You may NOT distribute
any registered version of JAR.
Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire JAR package
in an unmodified form when included in a CD-ROM shareware collection.
Moreover, permission is freely given for the use of the JAR software
to view and/or install CD-ROM shareware collections where the entire
JAR package is included. No special license is required nor will a
special license be granted.
With these exceptions, the sale of JAR 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.
UPGRADE POLICY FOR JAR:
Registered/licensed users of JAR may upgrade JAR to the next DOT
release (1.1 to 1.2, etc) for a small diskette fee. See the
ORDERFRM.DOC for details. UNLIMITED MULTIPLE SITE LICENSE holders
will get unlimited free JAR upgrades.
Current ARJ licensees who purchase JAR licenses of EQUAL or LESSER
value get a fifty percent discount off the JAR license fee. When
purchasing a JAR license of greater value, ARJ licensees will get a
fifty percent discount based upon an equivalent JAR license fee. For
example, if a user has a five PC ARJ license and then purchases a 15 PC
JAR license, that user will receive a discount calculated by taking
fifty percent of the five PC JAR license fee. Please note that the
licensee's ARJ license is still valid. Please note that we consider
the older $2000 unlimited use site license equivalent to the new $2500
unlimited use single site license.
JAR-SECURITY ENVELOPE USE:
This feature is intended for but not limited to software developers
who wish to distribute archived software with some assurance that the
archived software in a validated JAR-SECURED archive will be secure.
All JAR registrations include a free JAR-SECURITY envelope.
DISCLAIMER:
This software (JAR16, JAR32, JAR_C.COM, JAR_C.DLL, REARJ, and
JAR-SECURITY) is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any
kind, expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
The person using the software bears all risk as to the quality and
performance of the software. ARJ Software, Inc. will not be liable for
any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or similar damages due
to loss of data or any other reason, even if ARJ Software, Inc. or an
agent of ARJ Software, Inc. has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. In no event shall the liability of ARJ Software, Inc. for any
damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to use the software,
regardless of the form of the claim.
See ORDERFRM.DOC for ordering and payment information.
