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 | |
---|
88 | I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do |
---|
89 | think it is. |
