29The file LICENSE in the source tree contains the instructions which are
30included below.
31The author's wishes do not make the software DFSG non-free, since the
32official/non-official distinction is a request, not a requirement. That said,
33the debian package complies with the author's wishes and is labelled as
34unofficial; I encourage you to support free software and buy an official
35version if pykota turns out to be useful for you.

37============================================================
38Download :
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               
50Why 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
82      * You pay me any amount of money starting at **20$ (US Dollars)**
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
121I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do
122think it is.
