- If the licensed library is included within the licensing program's
- program distribution, the distribution conditions of this program
- take place as long as these do not explicitely contradict to the
- disposals described in the following text.
-

- programs, perhaps with exception of "pure" Public Domain.
-

- Restrictions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Freeware (Licenseware), which at first means, that a single
- distribution of the Library is as well forbidden as an
- unauthorized distribution together with programs of non-licensees.
-
- Also, the Library MUST not:
-
- - be included into other program's distributions
- without my explicitely written permission
- - be copied as a single package without
- being directly related to a specific program
- - without a license be copied and also not
- be used directly or -via any tricks- indirectly
-
- Licensing
- ~~~~~~~~~
- There is no way of automatic licensing via "agree-to-the-above-terms".
- Any license has to be given in written, non-electronic
- form. Interim-licenses may be promised via phone, email, etc but
- have to be confirmed in paper form.
-
- The only one, who is authorized to write and send licenses or
- promise licensing is the author of SuperView-Library, which is
- Andreas R. Kleinert.
