This script is copyright ©
2002-2003 by Carrick Information Technologies, All Rights Reserved.
This
script may be downloaded and used for any purpose, including commercial,
provided that the Distribution Conditions are met.
This
script is commercial software. The script is distributed widely, under
controlled conditions, in order to build revenue, name recognition and traffic
for www.carrickit.com.au. The greater name recognition and traffic lead to
advertising revenue, sales of other products, and sales of CGI
customization/installs.
Violating
the distribution conditions infringes on the script copyright and damages the
underlying business model. Any infringement claim against a violator may
include: actual damages to the copyright holder; any profits earned by the
violator; and statutory damages up to $100,000, plus court costs and attorney
fees.
User
Control: you, the user of this script, can select from 2 license modes:
Freeware and Registered Shareware. Terms and conditions differ slightly based
on the selected licensing mode. Freeware use is available to non-profit
organisations and individuals. Companies and any other organisation or
individual who will be using this script on a site which has a commercial
aspect, are considered to be using a Shareware licence. Shareware use is
allowed for 60 days from the date of first installation, after which a
registration fee is payable to Carrick Information Technologies.
Scope: by default, licensees will receive a 1-instance,
unlimited user license. This license covers the use of one instance of this
product on one computer, supporting unlimited numbers of users.
Additional
instances of the product can be installed and registered, using the original
registration, on web sites that act as non-public development and test
platforms for the registered instances. For CFiles, additional instances may be
installed and registered, using the original key, on web sites that are used
only for building and reviewing the search indexes before transfer to the
public site.
Scope -
Multi Licence: alternately, at the request of the licensee, a 10-user
license will be granted. This allows for up to 10 user accounts, spread over as
many instances as desired, up to 10. This mode is useful for web designers who
want to delegate authoring privileges to a single person for the upkeep of
designed sites.
Distribution Conditions
-
If you
decide to keep this script, you must select a permanent license mode, either
Freeware or Registered Shareware.
-
The
copyright notice appearing the header of the source code must remain in its
original form.
-
When
in Freeware or Trial Shareware mode, the copyright notice and link to
www.carrickit.com.au, which appear in the HTML output, must remain in their
original form.
-
Those
who substantially change the script - by, say, adding nice HTML formatting -
are free to attach their own copyright to their own value-added work, but their
claim would apply only to the value-added work, and would not compete with the
original copyright.
-
When
in Freeware or Trial Shareware mode, the script cannot be edited in such a way
as to make available the features of the registered shareware version, neither
through adding original code nor through unlocking unreferenced
functionality.
-
Other
than the restrictions above, any editing of the script is encouraged. That's
why it ships with source.
-
You
may not resale this script or any derived work. (You are encouraged to sell
access to this script, like as part of a paid web hosting company which
charges its customers. You would not be able to sell this script itself
to other web hosting companies.)
Reseller
arrangements are possible, but must be arranged in advance.
-
You
may not re-distribute this script - for example, by placing the original ZIP
archive on your download site. To distribute the script, link to
http://www.carrickit.com.au/scripts/cfiles/.
Carrick IT
will grant free registration keys to certain charitable causes and to those who
contribute to the scripts.
