- bgui.library 41.x
-
- BETA
- ----
- This version of BGUI is BETA. It is only to be posted on authorized BGUI Web and
- FTP sites, which must be maintained by a member of the BGUI mailing list and
- directly linked from an official BGUI web page. This restriction is to ensure
- any defective version could be quickly replaced.
-
- You are allowed to distribute the library itself with your software, but do not
- distribute the entire package. If very serious bugs are identified in this
- version after release, please make every effort to wait until they are
- corrected, or use an earlier version. It is undesirable to publically distribute
- software in such form, for the reputation of BGUI and your software as well.

- Distribution
- ------------
- BGUI 41.x is freely distributable for the user of BGUI-based software. Charging
- a user extra money for the use of BGUI's features is specifically illegal. The
- BGUI executable library is and always will be freeware.
-
- BGUI 41.x is currently free for the developer. No licensing fees are required
- for shareware or commercial software. If you have a large project under
- development, you should try to keep in touch with me and test it with the latest
- versions of the library. Note that the lack of licensing fees applies only to
- 41.x and below, and I reserve the right to charge a small developer fee in the
- future, although I will avoid it as long as financially possible.
-
- Although I have made BGUI an extremely unrestrictive environment to develop in,
- here's a few things you should do, not because you have to, but out of courtesy:
-
- 1. Send me a copy or keyfile of your product.
-
- 2. Give some credit in the documentation.
-
- 3. If your product is successful and generates you money, a donation of some
- sort would be in order. I will probably keep a list of contributors in the
- documentation, so you can live in fame.

- The source code is currently not distributable. If you obtained it, or part of
- it, from me, do not redistribute it without my explicit permission.

- History
- -------
- BGUI was originally developed by Jan van den Baard. I assumed development of it
- in early 1996. Although I've rewritten most of the actual code by now, Jan is to
- forever be credited with creating an excellent balance of power and ease of use
- vs. speed and code size. The programming interface is also very good.
