Limited Distribution License ------------------------------- As the exclusive copyright holder for EDDY, John Scofield authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions: BBSs and ASP Approved Vendor members in good standing are hereby given permission to distribute EDDY. Non-ASP member vendors must request permission prior to distributing this package. The EDDY package -- including all related program and documentation files -- CANNOT be modified in any way and MUST be distributed as a complete package, with the following specific exceptions: Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the package is otherwise unmodified and complete. Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable. The EDDY package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others. You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other literature which describes our products as "FREE" or "PUBLIC DOMAIN" software. Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software; it is NOT free, and it IS copyrighted. It is most certainly NOT public domain. No price or other compensation may be charged for EDDY. A reasonable fee may be charged to cover the actual costs of the distribution media, shipping and handling. 3. BBS Information ------------------ a. File Name For consistency and to help users locate the files, please use the file name "EDDYnn.ZIP", where "nn" is the current version identifier; e.g., "EDDY7G.ZIP".

Others (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute EDDY as part of a collection must obtain permission from the author prior to beginning such a distribution. If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection, please check the release date of the version you have.
