| 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 | Follow the "CVS Repository" link then follow the instructions in |
|---|
| 23 | the section labeled "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository". |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | * The CVS version will always be labelled as **unofficial** and the |
|---|
| 26 | word **unofficial** will appear whenever you run PyKota command line |
|---|
| 27 | tools with the --version command line argument, and so I have to |
|---|
| 28 | make a restriction : |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TO LABEL A VERSION OF |
|---|
| 31 | PyKota DOWNLOADED FROM CVS AS BEING THE 'OFFICIAL' ONE. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | * A PyKota version obtained from CVS, i.e. which version number |
|---|
| 34 | looks like *x.xx-unofficial*, IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE, AT NO COST, |
|---|
| 35 | UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, BUT CAN'T BE |
|---|
| 36 | LABELLED 'OFFICIAL'. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED, UNDER ANY |
|---|
| 37 | CIRCUMSTANCES, TO DELETE THE 'UNOFFICIAL' WORD FROM THE VERSION |
|---|
| 38 | NUMBER. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | * Version number excepted, **THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN |
|---|
| 41 | 'OFFICIAL' and 'UNOFFICIAL' VERSIONS OF PyKota.** It should be clear |
|---|
| 42 | that I'll answer to all questions, and try to help as much as I can, |
|---|
| 43 | even if you don't want to buy an **'OFFICIAL'** version. But it |
|---|
| 44 | should also be clear to you that the latest version you can find in |
|---|
| 45 | CVS may be somewhat unstable or unfinished, since this software is a |
|---|
| 46 | work in progress, and that it's up to you to download working |
|---|
| 47 | revisions from the CVS tree. That's why I suggest that you purchase |
|---|
| 48 | an 'OFFICIAL' version, because it will be simpler for you. |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | * You can obtain an **'OFFICIAL'** version of PyKota in two forms : |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | * Electronic form : |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | * You pay me any amount of money starting at **15$ (US Dollars)** |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball, |
|---|
| 57 | including the latest version of the electronic documentation in |
|---|
| 58 | SGML, HTML and PDF formats, by email. |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | * CDROM + Paper documentation (not yet available, documentation |
|---|
| 61 | still under works) : |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | * You pay me any amount of money starting at **30$ (US Dollars)** |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball, |
|---|
| 66 | including the latest version of the electronic documentation in |
|---|
| 67 | SGML, HTML and PDF formats, on CDROM, accompanied with the latest |
|---|
| 68 | version of the printed documentation. No additionnal shipping costs |
|---|
| 69 | will be asked to you, unless you require a specific delivery mode. |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | * The purchase of an **'OFFICIAL'** |
|---|
| 72 | version entitles you to : |
|---|
| 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | * Redistribute the **'OFFICIAL'** version you purchased. But if you |
|---|
| 75 | modify this version before redistribution then I ask you to also |
|---|
| 76 | modify the version number present in the pykota/version.py file to |
|---|
| 77 | label any package you would redistribute as **'UNOFFICIAL'**. |
|---|
| 78 | Unmodified **'OFFICIAL'** packages can be redistributed freely under |
|---|
| 79 | the **'OFFICIAL'** label. |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | * Obtain free technical support for a year starting at your purchase |
|---|
| 82 | date (bug fixes and new official versions) |
|---|
| 83 | |
|---|
| 84 | * Obtain half of **your money back** in case you contribute source |
|---|
| 85 | code or documentation which I accept in the source tree. If you're a |
|---|
| 86 | motivated developper, you've got strong chances to get half of your |
|---|
| 87 | money back. *NB : You will have to send me a signed copyright |
|---|
| 88 | assignment on paper in order for me to be able to accept your |
|---|
| 89 | patches on PyKota.* |
|---|
| 90 | |
|---|
| 91 | I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do |
|---|
| 92 | think it is. |
