When you installed TERMINATOR 2 you agreed to neither copy nor distribute this version of TERMINATOR 2 after 5 June 1996 together with the following conditions and exclusions of liability: ' " Notice of COPYRIGHT and EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY On 5 September 1995 Intershop Ltd agreed to transfer all their publishing rights and copyrights for (both the obsolete Terminate and) the brand new TERMINATOR 2 to George Collins. Under local laws and according to the relevant international conventions, TERMINATOR 2 is copyrighted by George Collins. All rights reserved. In no event will I, George Collins or my authorised distributors be liable to you for additional damages, including any lost profit, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use TERMINATOR 2 or utilities for TERMINATOR 2 even if I or my authorised distributors have been advised of the possibility of such problems. Succinctly: By using this program, you agree not to hold me or my authorised distributors responsible for anything other than the code using a lot of disk space. SHAREWARE LICENCE I, George Collins hereby grant to all a licence, terminable at seven days notice placed on the Main Board area of ALMAC BBS in Scotland, to copy and distribute TERMINATOR 2 version 2.04b *before* 5 June 1996 subject to the following conditions: ALL versions of Terminate (especially the fraudulent 1.5n & 3.nn versions) must be removed from distribution. The distributed TERMINATOR 2 archives must also be complete, unmodified and without the addition of other files. TERMINATOR 2 may *NEVER* be sold or distributed for profit or anticipated profit without the written permission of myself, George Collins. TERMINATOR 2 may not be `bundled' with hardware without written permission from myself, George Collins. Cost effective licences for TERMINATOR 2 are available for modem manufacturers and other distributors: +44 141 204 4310 Succinctly: no one other than myself, George Collins and my authorised distributors and sponsors may charge money for TERMINATOR 2. Please see..\REGISTER\*.REG for details of how BBS SysOps, CD-ROM Vendors, Shareware Libraries, Computer Consultants, Magazines, etc, may commission specially customised versions for either free or with profit distribution. OFFER OF LICENCE I recognise that few non-trivial programs are `bug-free' and that authors publishers, software libraries, BBS's, networks and users should work together to improve programs. I believe that the Shareware method of distribution and ongoing development ( with continuous improvements made often as a result of user input) is more realistic than maintaining a large and expensive public relations apparatus pretending that software is 100% correct on first release. The Shareware (try-BEFORE-you-buy) method of distribution assists the efforts of programmers to reach an audience that might otherwise be deprived of new and original programs due to the often prohibitive costs of traditional try-AFTER-you-buy marketing. Shareware relies on trust: the publisher trusts the users to pay for continued use of Shareware programs. But there is another element to this relationship of trust: if an author makes promises to his users, these promises should be kept. Since the 19 May 1994 the delinquent actions and inaction of Jeffrey Woods Bo Bendtsen, Dietmar Kneidl, Andy Roberts of Luray and Steve Stacher have jeopardised the ethical framework that Shareware relies on. ( Please read some of the original material in the files BO$WELCH.TXT and LIAR_WOO.DS if you want some interesting background reading...) Intershop Limited believed that by declaring ALL versions of Terminate to be FREEWARE it powerfully demonstrated that greed and duplicity would not pass unchallenged. [Intershop Ltd passed any financial gains it received for Terminate to the parties that Bo Bendtsen attempted to cheat in Russia and Europe.] I, George Collins, have taken up that torch and will also attempt to prosecute Bo Bendtsen and his cronies for fraud and copyright infringement within the legal systems of their domiciles. I, George Collins hereby offer to you, the reader of this offer, a licence to use this version of TERMINATOR 2 in perpetuity in exchange for your agreement to report to me directly ( george.collins@almac.co.uk ) or indirectly in echoes:- a) instances of any version of Terminate that you see being distributed in violation of my copyright b) any bugs found in TERMINATOR 2 or suggestions for improvements. (And there WILL be a few... I do NOT warrant that these bugs will be fixed nor that TERMINATOR 2 users will be further supported with either technical support or subsequent versions of TERMINATOR 2. Instead, your suggestions and bug reports may indeed be used to improve my employers' commercial communication programs that are replacing both Telix and Terminate. Practical details of these commercial ventures may be found in text files present in the versions of this software sponsored by Intershop Ltd in the \SPONSOR\ directory" ' ┘А╚╗ Ц ┌═А ╒╝╖╜╗╙╚╗ ╙═╙╗╔-╚╗║╝ ╞p╝║╚╔╛К ╞p╗ p═║╝Б╔ А ╞p╝ёp═╛╛╝╘, ╗╚╗ ┌К Е╝Б╗Б╔ ╒КА╙═╖═БЛ А╒╝╗ ╞p╔╓╚╝╕╔╜╗О, ╜═╞╗Х╗Б╔ ╜═╛ ╞╝ ═╓p╔АЦ 2:469/38@fidonet
