Critical Mass Concepts Software License
Valid for software pre-dating December 1991.
In the following license description CMC refers to Crtitical Mass
Concepts, 'the software' refers to the item of software supplied
and bound by this license.
The License is divided into the categories Public Domain and
Shareware, later versions will contain further catagories. The
software is covered by the License originally distributed with
the software. This License is valid with all software copyrighted
up to and including December 1991. For example a piece of software
which says "Copyright (C) 1990" is valid, one which says "Copyright
(C) December 1991" is also valid; whereas ones dated "Copyright (C)
1992" or "Copyright (C) March 1992" are not covered by this license.
Distributing CMC software without a correctly dated or altered
license is illegal as you are infringing the authors copyright.
The License covers more than one type of software, please refer
to the section that covers the type of software obtained. This is
normally described in the documentation or by the software
itself.
1. Shareware
If the software supplied is described in it's documentation as
Shareware the following section applies :-
All CMC Shareware software may be copied without restriction as
long as it is not altered in anyway (excluding archiving or
compaction). Distribution of this software in a modified form,
especially if this license is not included infringes the
copyright; and is therefore illegal. It would be preferred if
Public Domain Libraries and other distributors at least registered
with CMC.
Should you wish to distribute a modified (eg. translated) version
of this software please send a copy to CMC, if it is suitable we
will explicitly authorize copying of that version.
Shareware software requires that users pay contributions (as
specified in the documentation) if they find the software useful.
Although personal use without payment will not necessarily be
counted as an infringement, usage on a large scale (ie.
throughout a company etc.) will be deemed to be an infringement
of the License and therefore of the copyright if payments are not
made. So keep life simple and cough up the money, we supply
software for very low prices so help us to continue doing so.
2. Public Domain
All CMC software described as Public Domain in it's documentation
is covered by this section of the license.
CMC Public Domain software may be copied freely. If modifications
are made the software may be redistributed as long as
responsibility for the changes is acknowledged, CMC is
described as the original source and this license is supplied.
The exception to this is commercial usage, if any CMC Public
Domain software is to be used in any software that is not Public
Domain itself authorization must be gained from CMC first.
Contributions are always welcome even for Public Domain software.
