This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the program and documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete. o Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable so long as they identify themselves as being added by the distributor, and not part of the software. o No price or other compensation may be charged for the software package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette, shipping, and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 Internationally. o In order to maximize resources, Vendors often provide several different programs/packages on a single disk -- this is perfectly acceptable to Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. We require that the software files be bundled in such a way as to be presented as distinct and separate from those of other packages. Archiving is a suggested method of accomplishing this goal. o Rhode Island Soft Systems prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the software package, without written permission from Rhode Island Soft Systems. If the version you have obtained is over nine (9) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. Please see the release date at the top of this file. o You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. o The software package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging offer, without a written agreement from Rhode Island Soft Systems. o Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in immediate and automatic termination of this license. o U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software and documentation in this package shall be subject to the restricted rights applicable to commercial computer software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at 252.227-7013 (DFARS 52.227-7013).
