The STSPA is an association of program authors who believe that shareware
is the way ahead, for the ST computer. The association is set-up to
control and protect the distribution of authors programs and to assist both
authors and users of their products.
If you feel that you have any complaint against the author or distributor
from whom you obtained this program, please write to the association, giving
full details. Enquiries regarding the actual use of the program should be
addressed to the author not the STSPA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the Atari ST range of machines started to move away from the games
arena and became a machine regarded more as an 'enthusiast' machine, many
users have found that it is an ideal machine for learning programming, this
has resulted in a vast number of programs being written and released as
public domain, freeware, shareware and licenceware, unfortunately, all have
been marketed together which has resulted in users not being aware of the
differences, this document explains the different titles.
Public Domain:
Public domain programs and files have been released by the authors without
any copyright or restrictions being placed upon them, you should never
alter the program or credits contained within them. Usually you are
encouraged to distribute copies to your friends/colleagues thereby ensuring
a wide distribution.
Freeware:
Freeware programs are also distributed through public domain distribution
channels but the copyright is retained by the author and you must do
nothing to alter the program or associated files, like PD. you are
encouraged to distribute these programs, usually on the basis that no
profit is made by the distributor directly through selling the program.
These programs are also often wrongly referred to as PD.
Shareware:
Shareware programs are NOT public domain, they are commercial programs and
the author retains copyright to the program and associated files.
Shareware is in fact a type of marketing not a type of program, unlike the
commercial programs that you would purchase from a shop or mail order, you
are allowed to copy, pass on and use the program for a limited time for
evaluation purposes, then if found useful and you wish to continue using
it you are required to send a registration fee to the author or his agents
to purchase a full licence for the use of that program. on registering you
are often offered telephone or postal support printed manuals and an
upgrade (if one is produced) details of these offers accompany the
program. This is the ultimate try before you buy system.
There are also other marketing methods which go by the title of
licenceware, these work on the basis of selected vendors being given rights
to distribute a program with a royalty payment being made by the vendor to
the author, these are commercial programs and should not be copied or
distributed without obtaining a licence from the author.
