This is a license agreement which permits an Amiga software developer or publisher to include files from the ARP distribution with their Amiga software releases. ARP is Copyright (c) 1987,88,89 by ARP Authors, which is represented for this license agreement by Microsmiths, Inc. The ARP distribution includes executable files, an Amiga "library", and documentation for users and programmers of the various components. ARP Authors have granted permission for these files to be freely redistributed in their original unmodified form so that the files can be available as BBS distributions as well as on diskettes. The current versions of these files are "ARPREL3.ZOO", "ARPDOC3.ZOO", "ARPPRO3.ZOO", and "ARPLIB3.ZOO", as of September '89. The restriction that the archived "ZOO" files must not be modified in any way is to help to insure the integrity of the ARP release, both to insure the files are accurate and complete and to assist in describing exactly what users should look for to find any particular part of the ARP release. By returning this signed contract, Amiga software vendors are granted permission to include de-archived versions of the files with their diskette releases of software. Most frequently this will be to include the file "arp.library", which may be necessary for the vendor's program to run. No license is required unless actual materials from the ARP release are included, or substantial trade based on the ARP name is made. Developers do not need permission for use of "arp.library" unless arp.library is included with a software distribution. The vendor may also choose to include the executable programs from the ARP release, or the user documentation. This contract grants permission to distribute any of the files from the four "ZOO" files described above on diskette releases as discreet files, provided the following conditions are met: ************************************************************************ (1) None of the files may be modified in any way; the files should be copied to the master diskette as de-archived from the original ZOO files, or as otherwise provided directly by ARP Authors. To insure integrity, the original ZOO files should be obtained from one of the sources which ARP Authors have directly supplied with the files; these are the telecommunications services BIX, CompuServe, and PeopleLink. (2) No more than 50 copies of any documentation provided by ARP Authors may be printed, as noted elsewhere in the ARP distributions. Please contact ARP Authors for permission to print more than 50 copies of any part of the ARP documentation. ARP Authors and Microsmiths, Inc. retain commercial rights for any products which are substantially related to "ARP"; this license grants permission to use ARP materials within products which do not substantially relate to ARP. Please contact ARP Support regarding if you have any question about what this license covers; we will be glad to discuss commercial rights for products which are directly related to ARP but grant no rights in this license agreement. Commercial vendors of "public domain" software should contact ARP Support about sales of "ARP" diskettes. Permission is granted to non-commercial vendors of "public domain" software, such as users groups, to include the official ARP release materials on diskette provided that the materials included are either the original unmodified ZOO files, or the complete unmodified contents of one or more of the ZOO files, which are clearly separated on the diskette from other materials not provided as part of the ARP materials. We request that such vendors return this license so that ARP Support can contact the vendors regarding new releases of any of the ARP materials. (3) This license is only for distribution on diskette; if files are to be transmitted via modem, they must be provided in their original ZOO format. The file "ARPLIB3.ZOO" is recommended for vendors who wish to include "arp.library" with a BBS distribution of software, as it is much smaller than the full "ARPREL3.ZOO" file. Our recommendation is to document that arp.library is needed, and where to find it, rather than actually including any of the ZOO files with BBS distributions, If a developer/publisher determines it is necessary to include "arp.library" directly in their ARCHIVED files, permission is granted to include the unmodified "ARPLIB3.ZOO" file within the archives, if the following conditions are met: - This license agreement is signed and returned - The author includes a copying restriction clause similar to the clause in the ARP ZOO files, allowing copying of the files only only in the original, unmodified archived format. - The author includes the line "The ARPLIB3.ZOO file in this archive is included with permission from Arp Authors, and may not be copied except in it's original unmodified file." - The author provides a list of all places where the author will post any archives which include ARPLIB3.ZOO. (4) This license agreement makes no legal committment binding to either Microsmiths, Inc. or ARP Support. The licensee assumes all risk regarding fitness of use of any of the ARP materials, or any other liability issues. The sole legal committment in this agreement is permission from ARP Authors to include the materials described above for which ARP Authors claim copyright. ************************************************************************ To complete this license agreement, please fill in the information requested below, sign and date the agreement, and return a copy to Microsmiths at the address below: Name of Vendor:_________________________________________ Address: _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Name of Program and where distributed ( optional except for BBS distributions ): _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Date: _________________________________________ Signed: _________________________________________ Return to: ARP Support c/o Microsmiths, Inc PO Box 561 Cambridge, MA 02140
