MiNT is Not TOS: A Multitasking Operating System Extension for the Atari ST
Copyright 1990,1991,1992 Eric R. Smith. All rights reserved.
Redistribution is permitted only under the following conditions:
(1) Non-profit redistribution (at no more than the cost of the disk
the program is placed on, if any) is permitted in either source or
binary forms, provided that this file, "mint.doc", and all "readme" files
are included with the program, and provided further that if the source code
is not included then directions for obtaining the source code are.
(2) Redistribution for profit is permitted only with the express written
permission of the author, except in the following cases:
(a) Permission is hereby granted for MiNT to be distributed on commercial
bulletin boards and on-line services, in either source or binary form,
provided that the conditions of (1) are met, and further provided
that no special charge (i.e. beyond the normal connection fees) is
levied for downloading MiNT.
(b) Permission is hereby granted for MiNT to be distributed on "public
domain collection disks", such as are sold by user's groups and
by some companies, provided that *all* source code and documentation
is included, and provided that the price charged for disks containing
MiNT is the same as the price for other disks in the collection, and
is less than $10 in U.S. funds. Note that binary-only distributions
of MiNT in this form are not permitted under this clause; the source
code *must* be included.
Distribution of MiNT with any profit-making product (software or hardware)
is considered "distribution for profit" and requires a license.
(3) Modified copies of MiNT must be clearly marked as such. Such modified
copies may be distributed under the terms of (1) and (2), if they are
accompanied by a file describing the changes made to MiNT.
WARNING: This program does some very low level things to your computer.
MiNT works well on my machine, and I trust my data to it. But
then, I make regular backups, so even if a horrible bug in MiNT that
I haven't found yet trashes my hard drive, I won't lose much. You'll
have to decide for yourself about trusting your data to MiNT. I would
certainly recommend regular backups in any event.
MiNT COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, NOR WILL I BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THE USE OF IT. USE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
