21 | Download : |

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": |
---|
30 | http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/tarballs . |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | Why 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 | |
---|
103 | I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do |
---|
104 | think it is. |
