14============================================================
15
16  * PyKota is distributed under the GNU General Public License
17
18  * You can access to PyKota's source code by using CVS from :
19 
20        http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pykota/
21
22  * The CVS version will always be labelled as **unofficial** and the
23    word **unofficial** will appear whenever you run PyKota command line
24    tools with the --version command line argument, and so I have to
25    make a restriction :
26
27    YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TO LABEL A VERSION OF
28    PyKota DOWNLOADED FROM CVS AS BEING THE 'OFFICIAL' ONE.
29
30  * A PyKota version obtained from CVS, i.e. which version number
31    looks like *x.xx-unofficial*, IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE, AT NO COST,
32    UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, BUT CAN'T BE
33    LABELLED 'OFFICIAL'. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED, UNDER ANY
34    CIRCUMSTANCES, TO DELETE THE 'UNOFFICIAL' WORD FROM THE VERSION
35    NUMBER.
36
37  * Version number excepted, **THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
38    'OFFICIAL' and 'UNOFFICIAL' VERSIONS OF PyKota.** It should be clear
39    that I'll answer to all questions, and try to help as much as I can,
40    even if you don't want to buy an **'OFFICIAL'** version. But it
41    should also be clear to you that the latest version you can find in
42    CVS may be somewhat unstable or unfinished, since this software is a
43    work in progress, and that it's up to you to download working
44    revisions from the CVS tree. That's why I suggest that you purchase
45    an 'OFFICIAL' version, because it will be simpler for you.
46
47  * You can obtain an **'OFFICIAL'** version of PyKota in two forms :
48
49    * Electronic form :
50
51      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **15$ (US Dollars)**
52
53      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
54        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
55        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, by email.
56
57    * CDROM + Paper documentation (not yet available, documentation
58      still under works) :
59
60      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **30$ (US Dollars)**
61
62      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
63        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
64        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, on CDROM, accompanied with the latest
65        version of the printed documentation. No additionnal shipping costs
66        will be asked to you, unless you require a specific delivery mode.
67
68  * The purchase of an **'OFFICIAL'**
69    version entitles you to :
70
71    * Redistribute the **'OFFICIAL'** version you purchased. But if you
72      modify this version before redistribution then I ask you to also
73      modify the version number present in the pykota/version.py file to
74      label any package you would redistribute as **'UNOFFICIAL'**.
75      Unmodified **'OFFICIAL'** packages can be redistributed freely under
76      the **'OFFICIAL'** label.
77
78    * Obtain free technical support for a year starting at your purchase
79      date (bug fixes and new official versions)
80
81    * Obtain half of **your money back** in case you contribute source
82      code or documentation which I accept in the source tree. If you're a
83      motivated developper, you've got strong chances to get half of your
84      money back. *NB : You will have to send me a signed copyright
85      assignment on paper in order for me to be able to accept your
86      patches on PyKota.*
87
88I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do
89think it is.
