- Restrictions on the distribution of F-PROT
-
- The F-PROT shareware package must always be distributed complete and
- without modifications. We publish a detached PGP signature for the entire
- package, and any modifications to the file will invalidate that signature.
-
- The only authorized modification involves the file available from the
- Garbo FTP site. We can accept the modification, as we upload the file
- directly there. However, because of this modification, the PGP signature
- cannot be used to check the file available on Garbo.
-
- Any other modifications to the package, including the addition of BBS
- advertisements are strictly forbidden - we want to be able to assure the
- users of our package that the product they receive is identical to the one
- we released.
-
- Mass distribution of F-PROT in magazines or books requires approval from us
- or (in countries where we do not license the shareware version) the
- relevant local distributor of F-PROT Professional. The same restriction
- applies to "bundling" of F-PROT with other products, including distribution
- as a part of a larger package or pre-installation on hard disks.
-
- F-PROT shareware may be made available on FTP and BBS sites, as well as
- included on CD-ROMs containing other shareware/freeware programs, such as
- the SIMTEL and GARBO collection CD-ROMs, provided the conditions below
- are not violated.
-
- Any distribution of F-PROT is subject to the following restrictions:
-
- We do not want to have F-PROT distributed together with viruses, virus
- source code, virus construction programs or virus creation material such as
- 40Hex, Crypt or the Nuke newsletters. Please note that this also includes
- the so-called "Virus Simulator" from Rosenthal Engineering. Therefore,
-
- 1) F-PROT may not under any circumstances be made available on a site
- which makes such material freely available.
-
- 2) F-PROT may not be included on a CD-ROM (or similar media) containing
- such material.
-
- 3) F-PROT may not be distributed as a part of a package containing
- such material.
-
- We will consider legal action in the case of any violation of those three
- conditions.
