20============================================================
21
22  * PyKota is distributed under the GNU General Public License
23
24  * You can access to PyKota's source code by using CVS from :
25 
26      http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pykota/
27
28    Follow the "CVS Repository" link then follow the instructions in
29    the section labeled "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository".
30
31  * The CVS version will always be labelled as **unofficial** and the
32    word **unofficial** will appear whenever you run PyKota command line
33    tools with the *--version* command line argument.
34
35  * I ask you to not label or present a version of PyKota downloaded
36    from CVS as being the 'OFFICIAL' one.
37
38  * I encourage you to buy an 'OFFICIAL' PyKota package. See below for
39    the benefits of doing so.
40
41  * A PyKota version obtained either from CVS (unofficial) or by
42    purchasing an official package, **IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE AND
43    MODIFIABLE, AT NO COST, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
44    LICENSE.**
45
46  * Version number excepted, **THERE'S NO SOURCE CODE DIFFERENCE
47    BETWEEN 'OFFICIAL' AND 'UNOFFICIAL' VERSIONS OF PyKota.** However it
48    should be clear to you that the latest version you can find in CVS
49    may be somewhat unstable or unfinished, since this software is a
50    work in progress, and that it's up to you to download working
51    revisions from the CVS tree. That's why I suggest that you purchase
52    an **'OFFICIAL'** version, because it will be simpler for you (and
53    better for me). Also the documentation included in the
54    **'UNOFFICIAL'** version is only delivered in DocBook XML/SGML
55    source form, and not in compiled forms like HTML or PDF.
56
57  * You can obtain an **'OFFICIAL'** version of PyKota in two forms :
58
59    * Electronic form :
60
61      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **15$ (US Dollars)**
62
63      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
64        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
65        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, by email.
66
67    * CDROM + Paper documentation *(not yet available, documentation
68      still under works)* :
69
70      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **30$ (US Dollars)**
71
72      * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball,
73        including the latest version of the electronic documentation in
74        SGML, HTML and PDF formats, on CDROM, accompanied with the latest
75        version of the printed documentation. No additionnal shipping costs
76        will be asked to you, unless you require a specific delivery mode.
77
78  * The "purchase":/software/PyKota/Purchase of an **'OFFICIAL'**
79    version also allows you to :
80
81    * Modify or redistribute the **'OFFICIAL'** version you purchased,
82      under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free
83      Software Foundation. I just ask you to remove the 'OFFICIAL' word
84      from the version number if you redistribute a modified official
85      version.
86
87    * Obtain free technical support for a year starting at your purchase
88      date : This includes bug fixes and new official versions, as well as
89      priority email support.
90
91    * Obtain half of **your money back** in case you contribute source
92      code or documentation which I accept in the source tree. If you're a
93      motivated developper, you've got strong chances to get half of your
94      money back. *NB : You will have to send me a signed copyright
95      assignment on paper in order for me to be able to accept your
96      patches on PyKota.*
97
98    * By purchasing an official package, your karma will also be better.
99
100I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do
101think it is.
