| 31 | The author's wishes do not make the software DFSG non-free, since the |

| 32 | official/non-official distinction is a request, not a requirement. That said, |
---|
| 33 | the debian package complies with the author's wishes and is labelled as |
---|
| 34 | unofficial; I encourage you to support free software and buy an official |
---|
| 35 | version if pykota turns out to be useful for you. |

| 37 | ============================================================ |
---|
| 38 | Download : |
---|
| 39 | |
---|
| 40 | * PyKota is distributed under the "GNU General Public License":/GPL |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | * You can access to PyKota's source code by using CVS from : |
---|
| 43 | |
---|
| 44 | "http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=pykota":http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=pykota |
---|
| 45 | |
---|
| 46 | Then follow the instructions in the section labeled "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository". |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
| 48 | * Clients who purchased an **Official PyKota Package** can directly access to "the tarballs HERE":/software/PyKota/tarballs . |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | Why no tarball is available for free : |
---|
| 51 | |
---|
| 52 | * The CVS version will always be labelled as **unofficial** and the word **unofficial** |
---|
| 53 | will appear whenever you run PyKota command line tools with the *--version* command line |
---|
| 54 | argument. |
---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | * I ask you to not label or present a version of PyKota downloaded |
---|
| 57 | from CVS as being the 'OFFICIAL' one. |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
| 59 | * I encourage you to buy an 'OFFICIAL' PyKota package. See below for |
---|
| 60 | the benefits of doing so. |
---|
| 61 | |
---|
| 62 | * A PyKota version obtained either from CVS (unofficial) or by |
---|
| 63 | purchasing an official package, **IS FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE AND |
---|
| 64 | MODIFIABLE, AT NO COST, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC |
---|
| 65 | LICENSE.** |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | * Version number excepted, **THERE'S NO SOURCE CODE DIFFERENCE |
---|
| 68 | BETWEEN 'OFFICIAL' AND 'UNOFFICIAL' VERSIONS OF PyKota.** However it |
---|
| 69 | should be clear to you that the latest version you can find in CVS |
---|
| 70 | may be somewhat unstable or unfinished, since this software is a |
---|
| 71 | work in progress, and that it's up to you to download working |
---|
| 72 | revisions from the CVS tree. That's why I suggest that you purchase |
---|
| 73 | an **'OFFICIAL'** version, because it will be simpler for you (and |
---|
| 74 | better for me). Also the documentation included in the |
---|
| 75 | **'UNOFFICIAL'** version is only delivered in DocBook XML/SGML |
---|
| 76 | source form, and not in compiled forms like HTML or PDF. |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
| 78 | * You can obtain an **'OFFICIAL'** version of PyKota in two forms : |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | * Electronic form : |
---|
| 81 | |
---|
[1868] | 82 | * You pay me any amount of money starting at **20$ (US Dollars)** |
---|
[1350] | 83 | |
---|
| 84 | * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball, |
---|
| 85 | including the latest version of the electronic documentation in |
---|
| 86 | SGML, HTML and PDF formats, by email. |
---|
| 87 | |
---|
| 88 | * CDROM + Paper documentation *(not yet available, documentation |
---|
| 89 | still under works)* : |
---|
| 90 | |
---|
| 91 | * You pay me any amount of money starting at **30$ (US Dollars)** |
---|
| 92 | |
---|
| 93 | * Then I send you the latest **PyKota 'OFFICIAL'** tarball, |
---|
| 94 | including the latest version of the electronic documentation in |
---|
| 95 | SGML, HTML and PDF formats, on CDROM, accompanied with the latest |
---|
| 96 | version of the printed documentation. No additionnal shipping costs |
---|
| 97 | will be asked to you, unless you require a specific delivery mode. |
---|
| 98 | |
---|
| 99 | * The "purchase":/software/PyKota/Purchase of an **'OFFICIAL'** |
---|
| 100 | version also allows you to : |
---|
| 101 | |
---|
| 102 | * Modify or redistribute the **'OFFICIAL'** version you purchased, |
---|
| 103 | under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free |
---|
| 104 | Software Foundation. I just ask you to remove the 'OFFICIAL' word |
---|
| 105 | from the version number if you redistribute a modified official |
---|
| 106 | version. |
---|
| 107 | |
---|
| 108 | * Obtain free technical support for a year starting at your purchase |
---|
| 109 | date : This includes bug fixes and new official versions, as well as |
---|
| 110 | priority email support. |
---|
| 111 | |
---|
| 112 | * Obtain half of **your money back** in case you contribute source |
---|
| 113 | code or documentation which I accept in the source tree. If you're a |
---|
| 114 | motivated developper, you've got strong chances to get half of your |
---|
| 115 | money back. *NB : You will have to send me a signed copyright |
---|
| 116 | assignment on paper in order for me to be able to accept your |
---|
| 117 | patches on PyKota.* |
---|
| 118 | |
---|
| 119 | * By purchasing an official package, your karma will also be better. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do |
---|
| 122 | think it is. |
