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"
