Please read it.) - -Thank you for acquiring a copy of XV, a pretty nifty X program. -I hope you enjoy using it, as I've enjoyed writing it. - -The latest version of XV (or at least a pointer to it) is available -via anonymous ftp on ftp.cis.upenn.edu, in the directory pub/xv. If -you're not sure if you have the latest version, or you are missing the -source or documentation for XV, PLEASE pick up the latest version of -the xv distribution. Do *not* send mail unless absolutely necessary -(ie, you don't have ftp capability). - -Note: The documentation ('xvdocs.ps') may be installed in '/usr/local'. - -If you're viewing this information via the 'About XV' command, and -you'd like to print it out, a copy of this info can be found in the -README file in the top-level XV source directory. Print that. If you -don't have it, see the previous paragraph. - - -XV Licensing Information ------------------------- -XV IS SHAREWARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. - -You may use XV for your own amusement, and if you find it nifty, -useful, generally cool, or of some value to you, your registration fee -would be greatly appreciated. $25 is the standard registration fee, -though of course, larger amounts are quite welcome. Folks who donate -$40 or more can receive a printed, bound copy of the XV manual for no -extra charge. If you want one, just ask. BE SURE TO SPECIFY THE -VERSION OF XV THAT YOU ARE USING! - -COMMERCIAL, GOVERNMENT, AND INSTITUTIONAL USERS MUST REGISTER THEIR -COPIES OF XV. - -This does *not* mean that you are required to register XV just because -you play with it on the workstation in your office. This falls under -the heading of 'personal use'. If you are a sysadmin, you can put XV -up in a public directory for your users amusement. Again, 'personal -use', albeit plural. - -On the other hand, if you use XV in the course of doing your work, -whatever your 'work' may happen to be, you *must* register your -copy of XV. (Note: If you are a student, and you use XV to do -classwork or research, you should get your professor/teacher/advisor -to purchase an appropriate number of copies.) - -XV licenses are $25 each. You should purchase one license per -workstation, or one per XV user, whichever is the smaller number. XV -is *not* sold on a 'number of concurrent users' basis. If XV was some -$1000 program, yes, that would be a reasonable request, but at $25, -it's not. Also, given that XV is completely unlocked, there is no way -to enforce any 'number of concurrent users' limits, so it isn't sold -that way. - -Printed and bound copies of the 100-odd page XV manual are available -for $15 each. Note that manuals are *only* sold with, at minimum, an -equal number of licenses. (e.g. if you purchase 5 licenses, you can -also purchase *up to* 5 copies of the manual) - -The source code to the program can be had (as a compressed 'tar' file -split over a couple 3.5" MS-DOS formatted floppies) for $15, for those -who don't have ftp capabilities. - -Orders outside the US and Canada must add an additional $5 per manual -ordered to cover the additional shipping charges. - -Checks, money orders, and purchase orders are accepted. Credit cards -are not. All forms of payment must be payable in US Funds. Checks -must be payable through a US bank (or a US branch of a non-US bank). -Purchase orders for less than $50, while still accepted, are not -encouraged. - -All payments should be payable to 'John Bradley', and mailed to: - John Bradley - 1053 Floyd Terrace - Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 - USA - - -Site Licenses -------------- -If you are planning to purchase 10 or more licenses, site licenses are -available, at a substantial discount. Site licenses let you run XV on -any and all computing equipment at the site, for any purpose -whatsoever. The site license covers the current version of XV, and -any versions released within one year of the licensing date. You are -also allowed to duplicate and distribute an unlimited number of copies -of the XV manual, but only for use within the site. Covered versions -of the software may be run in perpetuity. - -Also, it should be noted that a 'site' can be defined as anything -you'd like. It can be a physical location (a room, building, -location, etc.), an organizational grouping (a workgroup, department, -division, etc.) or any other logical grouping ("the seventeen -technical writers scattered about our company", etc.). - -The site license cost will be based on your estimate of the number of -XV users or workstations at your site, whichever is the smaller -number. - -If you are interested in obtaining a site license, please contact the -author via electronic mail or FAX (see below for details). Send -information regarding your site (the name or definition of the 'site', -a physical address, a fax number, and an estimate of the number of -users or workstations), and we'll get a site license out to you for -your examination. - - -Copyright Notice ----------------- -XV is Copyright 1989, 1994 by John Bradley - -Permission to copy and distribute XV in its entirety, for -non-commercial purposes, is hereby granted without fee, provided that -this license information and copyright notice appear in all copies. - -If you redistribute XV, the *entire* contents of this distribution -must be distributed, including the README, and INSTALL files, the -sources, and the complete contents of the 'docs' directory. - -Note that distributing XV 'bundled' in with any product is considered -to be a 'commercial purpose'. - -Also note that any copies of XV that are distributed MUST be built -and/or configured to be in their 'unregistered copy' mode, so that it -is made obvious to the user that XV is shareware, and that they should -consider registering, or at least reading this information. - -The software may be modified for your own purposes, but modified -versions may not be distributed without prior consent of the author. - -This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied -warranty. In no event will the author be held liable for any damages -arising from the use of this software. - -If you would like to do something with XV that this copyright -prohibits (such as distributing it with a commercial product, using -portions of the source in some other program, distributing registered -copies, etc.), please contact the author (preferably via email). -Arrangements can probably be worked out. - - -The author may be contacted via: - US Mail: John Bradley - 1053 Floyd Terrace - Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 - - FAX: (610) 520-2042 - -Electronic Mail regarding XV should be sent to one of these three addresses: - xv@devo.dccs.upenn.edu - general XV questions - xvbiz@devo.dccs.upenn.edu - all XV licensing questions - xvtech@devo.dccs.upenn.edu - bug reports, technical questions - -Please do *not* send electronic mail directly to the author, as he -gets more than enough as it is. - - |
