Copyright laws apply to both Shareware ------------- and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee --if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. SmartTip is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user- supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using SmartTip and continue to use SmartTip after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to JareWare. The registration ------------------------------------------------------------------ SmartTip Version 1.0 (c) 1996 JareWare Page: 5 fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. Commercial users of SmartTip must register and pay for their copies of SmartTip within 60 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Anyone distributing SmartTip for any kind of remuneration must first contact JareWare at the address listed for authorization. You are encouraged to pass a copy of SmartTip along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it.
