Distribution Restrictions for the C Adventure Toolkit ----------------------------------------------------- The C Adventure Toolkit (CAT) is not public domain/free software - it has been released as SHAREWARE. This means that if you are a regular user of CAT, then you should pay for your copy and register with the author (see REGISTER.TXT). Only from the income from registration fees can the author provide product support, make enhancements etc. Those users of CAT who have not registered are granted a limited license to use the system on an evaluation basis. PLEASE register if you use CAT! CAT is copyrighted by the Author. This includes all source code, documentation and programs. Vendors/Individuals are granted rights to distribute CAT with the following restrictions: 1) The distribution disk must not be altered in any way, other than adding small text/batch files that may help users. YOU MUST NOT AMEND OR DELETE ANY FILES ON THE DISK. 2) If possible, you should ensure that your duplicating method renders neither the ST nor the PC versions of CAT unusable. 2) If you are distributing CAT to a potentially large audience, then you should inform the author of your intents. You should NOT give a telephone support service for CAT - you should inform users that registration with the author will entitle them to full support. 3) You should make reasonable efforts to ensure that the latest version of the system is distributed. Both registered users and Vendors of CAT (2 above) will be automatically informed of new releases. These will be available for a nominal fee. Although you are automatically granted rights to distribute CAT, the author reserves the right to revoke distribution rights from any vendor who does not attempt to adhere to the above restrictions. Registered users of CAT have full rights to sell any adventures they may have written using the system. However, the adventure should include some mention that it was 'written with the C Adventure Toolkit' - preferably in the standard advertisement. Non-registered users of CAT have NO RIGHTS to distribute their adventure either commercially, or non-commercially.
