JAR LICENSE POLICY November 1996 The JAR archiver (JAR16 and JAR32), the encryption modules (JAR_C.COM and JAR_C.DLL), the REARJ program, and the associated documentation are copyright (c) 1990-96 ARJ Software, all rights reserved. The JAR software may not be circulated in any incomplete or modified form, nor sold for profit, without written permission of the author. The JAR software refers to the package of JAR16.EXE, JAR32.EXE, JAR_C.COM, JAR_C.DLL, and REARJ.EXE. The word JAR refers to the JAR software unless otherwise indicated. If you distribute this software to others, you are required to distribute the ENTIRE package consisting of the following files: AGENTS.DOC CREDIT.CRD CONVPROT.BAT ERRORS.DOC README.DOC FILE_ID.DIZ INTRO.DOC JAR.CFG JAR.DOC JAR16.EXE JAR32.EXE JARBACK.BAT JARINCR.BAT JARREST.BAT JAR_C.COM JAR_C.DLL LICENSE.DOC ORDERFRM.DOC REARJ.CFG REARJ.DOC REARJ.EXE TECHNOTE.DOC TESTJAR.BAT WHATSNEW.DOC WHY_JAR.DOC SAMPLE.J NOTE: The export version of this distribution archive does NOT contain the encryption modules, JAR_C.COM and JAR_C.DLL, per USA export regulations. We strongly prefer that the files be distributed in the format originally released: JAR###.EXE (### = version) with the ARJ-SECURITY envelope as created by the author. If you must distribute the JAR archive in another archive format, please archive the JAR###.EXE as one file inside the other archive. Re-archival of the software as separate files means losing the ARJ security envelope. As a brief description of JAR, we suggest the following: "JAR is a file archiver that compresses files into a disk space saving archive. It is fast, powerful, reliable, and has a rich set of features which include outstanding data compression, Windows 95/NT long filename support, file version management, data recovery protection, multiple volume archives (archives that span diskettes) and much more." You may NOT distribute the registered version of JAR except as noted in your JAR license agreement. The use and/or sale of the JAR software package is subject to the following terms: PERSONAL USE: For personal use (at home and non-commercial), JAR may be freely used and shared with others. There is no REQUIRED registration fee for non-commercial, non-business, non-institutional, non-government personal use. Instead, we ask that you share the JAR software with a friend. For personal use, the program REARJ may be freely used only by JAR users. A JAR user is one who uses JAR on a regular basis. Others who wish to use REARJ must purchase a registration for the JAR package. The user who registers receives several benefits: * Technical support by telephone, fax, email, or mail. You can get help with any questions or problems you encounter in using JAR. * Full access to all of the features of JAR via a registration serial number. * The use of the JAR-SECURITY envelope for data authentication. * The satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting the development of good, affordable software. BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS), WEB SITE, AND FTP SITE USE: JAR and REARJ may be freely used on commercial and non-commercial electronic file distribution sites (computer bulletin board systems, WEB sites, FTP sites and so on) for the purpose of distributing *.J archive files. The JAR shareware distribution archive (JARnnn.EXE) may be freely distributed by these sites. JAR and REARJ may be freely used on non-commercial electronic file distribution sites where JAR is one of the supported primary archive formats. The use of JAR and/or REARJ on a BBS where JAR is not one of the supported primary archive formats requires a registration or site license. Support of JAR involves allowing JAR archives as uploads AND making JAR archives available as downloads. INSTITUTIONAL/COMMERCIAL INTERNAL USE LICENSE/REGISTRATION: Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to use the JAR software in the course of its internal business must purchase an JAR registration or SITE LICENSE. Any individual wishing to use the JAR software within a corporation, institution, government agency or business must purchase an JAR registration or SITE LICENSE. The SITE LICENSE is provided for those who want to use JAR on multiple computers. A sample INTERNAL USE LICENSE for the internal use of the JAR software is included at the end of this document. Please see the ORDERFRM.DOC or write for terms. Any corporation, institution, government agency or business may use the unregistered shareware version of JAR only for evaluation purposes and only for a thirty day period. After the thirty day period, you must either register JAR or discontinue its use. While you are in the process of registering JAR, you may continue to use the unregistered JAR program until you receive your registration serial number. This internal license does NOT license the inclusion of the JAR software with a hardware/software package that is distributed externally. The unlimited SINGLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits JAR internal use for an unlimited number of computers/users at one street address. This definition of a SINGLE LOCATION SITE is subject to change. The unlimited MULTIPLE LOCATION SITE LICENSE permits JAR internal use for an unlimited number of computers/users at all locations. Each computer that uses JAR in any way requires licensing. In addition, computers that are being backed up with JAR via a file server require licensing. For example, if computer Z's data is copied to a file server and that file server uses JAR to archive Z's data, then computer Z needs to be licensed for JAR. Examples of institutional or commercial use of JAR: 1) Using JAR to backup your business programs and/or data. 2) Using JAR to create archives for storing or transporting business data. 3) Using JAR on a company supplied home computer for company business. 4) Using JAR to backup your research programs and/or data. 5) Using JAR on your home business computer for business purposes. The above examples should NOT be considered the ONLY types of institutional or commercial use of JAR. SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION USE BY INDIVIDUALS: The use of JAR to create an JAR format archive (*.J) for the purpose of distributing shareware or freeware to computer bulletin board systems IS NOT considered commercial use. However, any other use of JAR in connection with a shareware product is commercial use. For example, using JAR to backup shareware source code is commercial use. DISTRIBUTION LICENSE: Standard JAR format archives (*.J) may be distributed without a license. Any corporation, institution, government agency or business wishing to include JAR16, JAR32, JAR_C.COM, or JAR_C.DLL, or REARJ as an integral part of a software and/or hardware package to be distributed externally must purchase a DISTRIBUTION LICENSE. The use of JAR on one computer to build the software and/or hardware package is included in the DISTRIBUTION LICENSE. The above requirement does NOT apply to those who did NOT initiate the inclusion of the JAR software with the software and/or hardware package. Please write for terms providing your distribution details: 1) Expected distribution numbers in total. 2) The approximate value/price of the package. 3) A brief description of the software/hardware. 4) A description of how JAR will be used in the distribution. If you wish to use the archiver JAR or the conversion program REARJ in your application software, the pricing is similar to the INTERNAL LICENSE price schedule. Please write for terms. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONAL USE: To obtain the donation of a SITE LICENSE and/or DISTRIBUTION LICENSE, please write providing details of your organization's religious and charitable activities and the intended use for JAR. A free license will be provided to qualifying organizations. Qualifications will be determined on a purely subjective basis. Non-qualifying organizations can always obtain licenses by purchase. Non-religious non-profit organizations promoting causes that do not conflict with our personal faith and ethics may also qualify for a free license. COMMERCIAL SALE: Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire JAR package in an unmodified form for a fee as long as the price charged for the disk containing JAR does not exceed US $10.00. You may NOT distribute any registered version of JAR. Any software dealer or library may distribute the entire JAR package in an unmodified form when included in a CD-ROM shareware collection. Moreover, permission is freely given for the use of the JAR software to view and/or install CD-ROM shareware collections where the entire JAR package is included. No special license is required nor will a special license be granted. With these exceptions, the sale of JAR or its parts for profit, either alone or together with other software or hardware, requires a licensing agreement possibly providing for royalty payments. Please write for terms. UPGRADE POLICY FOR JAR: Registered/licensed users of JAR may upgrade JAR to the next DOT release (1.1 to 1.2, etc) for a small diskette fee. See the ORDERFRM.DOC for details. UNLIMITED MULTIPLE SITE LICENSE holders will get unlimited free JAR upgrades. Current ARJ licensees who purchase JAR licenses of EQUAL or LESSER value get a fifty percent discount off the JAR license fee. When purchasing a JAR license of greater value, ARJ licensees will get a fifty percent discount based upon an equivalent JAR license fee. For example, if a user has a five PC ARJ license and then purchases a 15 PC JAR license, that user will receive a discount calculated by taking fifty percent of the five PC JAR license fee. Please note that the licensee's ARJ license is still valid. JAR-SECURITY ENVELOPE USE: This feature is intended for but not limited to software developers who wish to distribute archived software with some assurance that the archived software in a validated JAR-SECURED archive will be secure. All JAR registrations include a free JAR-SECURITY envelope.
