Read the terms and conditions of this license agreement carefully before
using the software. If you for any reason, whatsoever, cannot accept the
conditions in this agreement, you are not permitted to use BBBS.
BBBS is a proprietary product of Kim Heino and Tapani T. Salmi,
hereafter "the authors", protected by applicable copyright laws and
international treaty provisions.
BBBS is not, nor has ever been, public domain or free software. You must
register after the 30-day evaluation period. If you decide to use this
software, then you are under both legal and moral obligations to
register it with the author. Registration entitles you continue using
BBBS.
In the event that you are in violation of this license agreement, you
agree and accept that the authors may cancel your registration and any
rights to use BBBS that you may have.
BBBS is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind or fitness for a
particular purpose, either expressed or implied, all of which are hereby
explicitly disclaimed. The authors only guarantees that BBBS will occupy
disk space. The authors liability resulting from your use or inability
to use BBBS is limited to the amount that the affected party has paid
for it.
The registered version of BBBS may not be duplicated other than for
backup purposes. In a non registered version there is user's timelimit
limited to 31 minutes. That limitation will be removed when registering
the program.
Some BBBS versions are distributed with object code files. These objects
may only be used to rebuild (link) BBBS executables, all other uses are
strictly forbidden.
There are two versions of BBBS, with and without RSA crypting. BBBS with
RSA may not be imported to some countries, especially the USA. Please
check your local import laws first. The RSA library used is fully coded
in Finland.
There are two different licenses for BBBS: COMMERCIAL and NONCOMMERCIAL.
You may use NONCOMMERCIAL license only if your BBS is free for all users
(new and old ones) and it is public for everybody to log in. You must
use COMMERCIAL license if you use BBBS in a company for inner or
external mail or file transfer purposes, or you run a support BBS for a
company or it's products.
One license for BBBS is valid only in one system, which may contain one
or more computers physically connected to each other all the time via LAN,
WAN or similar. You may not use one license in two physically separated
systems, i.e. in two different offices of one company.
In doubt contact the authors.
The BBBS node license is divided in two; phone nodes and local nodes.
A local node can not be used with modem or ISDN (or modem emulating
driver), it can only be used for local/telnet/PIPE (LAN) connections.
A phone node can be used for all purposes. The minimum is 2 phone nodes
and 0 local nodes. See the table below for current prices and available
node amounts.
Current prices in Finnish Marks (FIM) and Norwegian Crowns (NKR) are:

The change of the number of nodes or the license type will cost the
difference * 1.1. Changes made within a week will be charged for
difference only. I.e. if you want to upgrade from 2 phone node
noncommercial license to 5 phone node commercial license, the price
will be (1500-300)*1.1, 1320 FIM. Fill in new registeration form when
you want to upgrade. When upgrading you can only increase your node
amounts, you can not decrease them.
