"AFD-COPYRIGHT"(TM) is for all kinds of FD-Software the developers
want to keep the copyright of - from Freeware to Shareware!!!
 
The concept of a "Standard-Licence" like this one has several advantages:

- You as a developer don't have to think about copyright stuff yourself.
- The users of your product have to read it only if they haven't done so
  before.
- This document is available in several languages via Aminet. So you can
  be sure that the users have read it at least once and did understand it.
  This is also a first step to "localize" software.
  (The number in the name of this archive corresponds to the number of
  languages available in this release.)

Some of the ideas were inspired by Osma Ahvenlampi (Paragraphs 2, 3 and 5b).
