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 looks
34    like *x.xx-unofficial*, **IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE AND MODIFIABLE,
35    AT NO COST, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, BUT
36    CAN'T BE LABELLED 'OFFICIAL'. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED,
37    UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TO PUT THE 'OFFICIAL' WORD IN THE VERSION
38    NUMBER IF IT IS NOT ALREADY PRESENT.**
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
91I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do
92think it is.
