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 | | |
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 | | |
121 | | I sincerely hope that you will find this proposition as fair as I do |
122 | | think it is. |
