- Distributing Uedit
-
-
- I really do encourage you to give away copies of your Uedit-Share diskette.
- When you give away copies, you must observe the following restrictions:
-
- *** You must distribute ALL of Uedit's Shareware FILES together:
- Cheat-Sheet d Data! DU-Data!
- Help! UE-Init UE-Init.info Uedit-Policy
- Uedit-ReadMe UEDU-ReadMe UES UES.info
-
- *** You must NOT MODIFY any files except for putting your serial number
- into UES.
- *** You must NOT distribute copies of the printed or diskette Manual.
- *** You must NOT distribute ANY of the files on your Non-Shareware
- Uedit diskette.
- *** You MUST use Uedit COPYRIGHT notices on Uedit files.
- *** You MUST use Uedit TRADEMARK notices on "Uedit".
-
- You may include your own files along with Uedit, put files on several
- diskettes, distribute files via modem, or compress files, as long as their
- contents remain unchanged.
-
- You may print, copy, and distribute the Help!, Cheat-Sheet and other text
- files in the Uedit directory of your Uedit-Share diskette.
-
- Due to high piracy resulting in very low support, I cannot allow you to
- distribute Config files. When you create custom configs, please distribute
- ONLY your Data files. You may give your config files to other registered
- Uedit users, if you wish.
-
- Amiga clubs may want to encourage their members to register off the club's
- registered copy, as a good way to earn money for the club.
-
- NOTE: Do NOT tell people to register by subtracting your commission from the
- amount they send in. This is Important: If I allow people to subtract off
- the commission, users can be cheated out of commissions they are entitled to.
- I can't allow this. You must give people a note with your signature on it to
- include when they register, so that I have got Proof that you are waiving
- your commission.
-
- Please USE the commissions! This will bring in support so that I can get
- paid for my work and can contribute more work to Amiga shareware.
-
- In distributing Uedit and encouraging registrations, you will be supporting
- upgrades and supporting the next good program for shareware.
-
- And your feedback is important too. Most of the improvements in Uedit since
- the beginning have been in response to feedback from its users.
-

-
- Uedit and Shareware
-
-
- Shareware is a generous, trusting concept which treats you like an honest
- person, rather than presuming that you are not, as, for instance, copy
- protection does.
-
- Shareware programs have got to be superior, because you get to try them out
- thoroughly at home or in the office before buying them. Many commercial
- programs would not survive this acid test.
-
- You are allowed to try out a Shareware program for as long as you require, in
- order to decide whether you are going to use it or not.
-
- If you USE it, you must BUY it. Only THEN does the Shareware author get
- paid for his work and expenses for creating the program you are using.
-
- Uedit depends ENTIRELY upon:
- * Your honesty in paying its author, if you use Uedit.
- * Your cooperation in safeguarding Uedit's Shareware "hooks" and
- protections, by not distributing its Non-Shareware files.
- * Your assistance in finding new support.
-
-
- Thank you for supporting Uedit in Shareware!
