- 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 FEBBS-package.
-
- * The FEBBS-package 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

- prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
- develop new products.

- are copyrighted 1991 by Patrik Sjöberg. All rights are reserved. You
- may copy this package for backup purposes. You may also copy and
- share unmodified copies of the whole package, providing that the
- copyright notice is reproduced and included on all copies.
-
- * You may not sell the product for a fee and/or distribute the product
- along with other products without written permission, nor may you
- modify or remove the Copyright Notices from the programs or the
- documentation files. User clubs, if they are NOT commercial, are
- allowed to ask a small amount of money for distribution and storage
- when they want to share this package amongst their members.
-
- * It is forbidden to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer,
- decompile and/or disassemble the software in the FEBBS-package.

- release of the FEBBS-package for a small amount of money. Previous

- 'closed' Bulletin Board System (a system where the user must pay
- direct to the SysOp to get full access) has to pay more than a
- Non-commercial user. Usage of the FEBBS-Package on a BBS with 3
- (three) lines or more is considered as 'closed bbs' usage also.

- Method of payment.
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- There are several ways of transferring the license fee to me. Common
- for all of them is that they should be made payable to Patrik Sjöberg
- and all fees should be made payable in SEK - Swedish Krones.
-
- - By postal money order or international money order. Normal cheques
- will cost me extra money to cash, so add SEK 40:- for transfer if
- you use a cheque. The real rate for transferring a Foreign check is
- SEK 70 :- so i am only charging you some of the amount for this.
- The conversion charge only applies to Non-Swedish cheques.
-
- - By Postal Giro. My Postal Giro account in Stockholm is 82 04 89 - 3.
- The Postal Giro is also known as PostGiro, Postcheckkonto, Compte
- Chèques postaux, PostRekening, Girobank Account all depending on the
- country you live in.
-
- - Sending money directly.
-
- - By credit card. Simply fill out the registration form and mail it.
-
-
- All prices in the registration form are given in Swedish Krones (SEK).
- If you feel unsure what the current exchange rate is talk with your
- bank. They will be more than happy to help you out.
-
- My address is :
-
- FenrisUlven Data
- Attn : Patrik Sjöberg
- Sörbygatan 69B
- S-802 55 GEFLE
- SWEDEN
-
- Please note that all Checks and MoneyOrders must be in Swedish
- Currency otherwise I may even be forced to return your payment and ask
- you to resend it in proper currency.
-
-
- I know that it should not be to hard to crack the few things that
- appear in the unregistered version but that's not the point. The
- program still works. It is *Not* Crippled in any other way! I don't
- believe that a program can be made full-proof to hackers, and such, I
- don't find it useful to create difficult algorithms. Many people know
- by now that when people don't register, the program will die, sooner
- or later. So if you wish to see future enhancements of FEBBS ( and my
- other programs ) then Please Register.
-
- Thank You for Your support.
