ARJ LICENSE POLICY October 1997
The ARJ archiver, the REARJ program, the ARJSFX module, the ARJSFXJR
module, the ARJSFXV module, the ARJ$DISP program, the DEARJ program,
the ARJR program, and the associated documentation are copyright (c)
1990-97 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.
If you distribute this software to others, you are required to
distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files:

ARJCRYPT.COM [DELETED FROM EXPORT VERSION ARCHIVE]
We strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format
originally released: ARJ###.EXE (### = version) with the ARJ-SECURITY
envelope as created by ARJ Software, Inc. If you must distribute the
ARJ archive in another archive format, please archive the ARJ###.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 ARJ, we suggest the following:
"ARJ is a 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 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."
You may NOT distribute the registered version of ARJ or the registered
version of REARJ or any version of ARJR, and DEARJ except as noted in
your ARJ license agreement. ARJR is the ARJ program minus the help
screens and SFX/SFXV/SFXJR modules. DEARJ is the ARJR program minus
the archive modification/creation functions. ARJR and DEARJ are
available only to registered and licensed users. See the ORDERFRM.DOC
for ordering information. Those who have made donations to ARJ may
upgrade to a full registration with full credit for your previous
donation(s). Please note the previous donation on your order as a
reminder.
The use and/or sale of ARJ, ARJR, ARJ$DISP, DEARJ, REARJ, ARJSFX,
ARJSFXV, and ARJSFXJR (ARJ package) is subject to the following terms:
PERSONAL USE:
For personal use (at home and non-commercial), ARJ, ARJSFX, and
ARJSFXV, 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.
* The REGISTERED full version of ARJ.
* The REGISTERED full version of REARJ.
* The latest version of ARJR, DEARJ, and UNARJ C source code.
Most of these are only available to registered users.
* The non-demo multiple volume self-extraction module.
* The non-demo self-extract module command line option customization
feature.
* 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.DOC 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.
This internal 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, 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 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.
The above examples should NOT be considered the ONLY types of
institutional or commercial use of ARJ.
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.
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.
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 ARJR or 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.
UPGRADE POLICY FOR ARJ:
Registered/licensed users of ARJ may upgrade ARJ to the next DOT
release (2.1 to 2.2, etc) for a small diskette fee. See the
ORDERFRM.DOC for details. UNLIMITED SITE LICENSE holders will get
unlimited free ARJ upgrades.
This upgrade policy applies ONLY to the ARJ archiver.
UNARJ SOURCE CODE:
Available in a separately distributed archive is the program UNARJ.EXE
and its C source code. UNARJ is a simple ARJ archive extraction
program.
You may freely use, copy, and distribute UNARJ.EXE, provided that no
fee is charged for such use, copying or distribution.
This source code is intended to promote the building of utilities to
support the use of ARJ and ARJ archives.
ARJ-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 ARJ-SECURED archive will be secure.
We reserve the right to limit the distribution of ARJ-SECURITY serial
codes.
This feature may ONLY be used by those who have purchased an
ARJ-SECURITY serial number.
Please see the ORDERFRM.DOC or write for terms.
