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