Revision 1622, 4.6 kB (checked in by jalet, 20 years ago)

Added support for binary PostScript? through GhostScript? if native DSC
compliant PostScript? analyzer doesn't find any page. This is much
slower though, so native analyzer is tried first.

20============================================================
21Download :
22
23  * PyKota is distributed under the "GNU General Public License":/GPL
24
25  * You can access to PyKota's source code by using CVS from :
26 
27      "http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=pykota":http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=pykota
28
29    Then follow the instructions in the section labeled "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository".
30
31  * Clients who purchased an **Official PyKota Package** can directly access to "the tarballs HERE":
32http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/tarballs .
33               
34Why no tarball is available for free :
35
36  * The CVS version will always be labelled as **unofficial** and the word **unofficial**
37    will appear whenever you run PyKota command line tools with the *--version* command line
38    argument.
39
40  * I ask you to not label or present a version of PyKota downloaded
41    from CVS as being the 'OFFICIAL' one.
42
43  * I encourage you to buy an 'OFFICIAL' PyKota package. See below for
44    the benefits of doing so.
45
46  * A PyKota version obtained either from CVS (unofficial) or by
47    purchasing an official package, **IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE AND
48    MODIFIABLE, AT NO COST, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
49    LICENSE.**
50
51  * Version number excepted, **THERE'S NO SOURCE CODE DIFFERENCE
52    BETWEEN 'OFFICIAL' AND 'UNOFFICIAL' VERSIONS OF PyKota.** However it
53    should be clear to you that the latest version you can find in CVS
54    may be somewhat unstable or unfinished, since this software is a
55    work in progress, and that it's up to you to download working
56    revisions from the CVS tree. That's why I suggest that you purchase
57    an **'OFFICIAL'** version, because it will be simpler for you (and
58    better for me). Also the documentation included in the
59    **'UNOFFICIAL'** version is only delivered in DocBook XML/SGML
60    source form, and not in compiled forms like HTML or PDF.
61
62  * You can obtain an **'OFFICIAL'** version of PyKota in two forms :
63
64    * Electronic form :
65
66      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **20$ (US Dollars)**
67
68      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
69        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
70        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, by email.
71
72    * CDROM + Paper documentation *(not yet available, documentation
73      still under works)* :
74
75      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **30$ (US Dollars)**
76
77      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
78        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
79        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, on CDROM, accompanied with the latest
80        version of the printed documentation. No additionnal shipping costs
81        will be asked to you, unless you require a specific delivery mode.
82
83  * The "purchase":/software/PyKota/Purchase of an **'OFFICIAL'**
84    version also allows you to :
85
86    * Modify or redistribute the **'OFFICIAL'** version you purchased,
87      under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free
88      Software Foundation. I just ask you to remove the 'OFFICIAL' word
89      from the version number if you redistribute a modified official
90      version.
91
92    * Obtain free technical support for a year starting at your purchase
93      date : This includes bug fixes and new official versions, as well as
94      priority email support.
95
96    * Obtain half of **your money back** in case you contribute source
97      code or documentation which I accept in the source tree. If you're a
98      motivated developper, you've got strong chances to get half of your
99      money back. *NB : You will have to send me a signed copyright
100      assignment on paper in order for me to be able to accept your
101      patches on PyKota.*
102
103    * By purchasing an official package, your karma will also be better.
104
105I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do
106think it is.
