+How to license NNTPCACHE for your commercial / government / site
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 0. If you are upgrading from an old nntpcache license then the
+ upgrade fee is n/3, where n is the number of years since
+ your last license. So during the first year
+ upgrades are free, during the second year 1/3 the cost, etc.
+
+ 1. Work out how many users your site has. You will probably
+ want to artificially increase this number if you expect
+ it to grow in the future so you don't unintentionally
+ break the license conditions. This figure is the actual
+ number of users site-wide (e.g wc /etc/passwd or ypcat
+ passwd|wc), NOT the number of concurrent NNTPCache users.
+
+ Don't worry, it is presumed that only a minority of
+ network users use news regularly. The figures reflect
+ this expectation. What we're trying to work out is the
+ approximate size of the network user base.
+
+ We calculate the license size in this fashion because
+ other models would dramatically increase compliance costs
+ or prevent interesting network topologies.
+ Organisations usually know (or can easily work out),
+ the number of network users they have, but introducing
+ a user accounting system for just for news would be
+ be odious as would limiting the number or configuration
+ of servers.
+
+ You can run as many NNTPCache machines as you want. In
+ *any* network configuration you want. If NNTPCache was
+ licensed on a per-machine or concurrent user basis, then
+ this would be impossible.
+
+ 2. Choose the appropriate site license for your site:
+
+ TYPE $US $AUS*
+
+ Single user $10 $15
+ Under 10 users $50 $70
+ Under 100 users $120 $190
+ Under 500 users $300 $450
+ Under 1000 users $500 $750
+ Under 5000 users $1500 $2272
+ Under 10000 users $3000 $4545
+ Over 10000 users negotiable+ negotiable+
+
+* Note than you can only pay in Australian dollars if your organisation
+ is headquartered in Australia or New-Zealand.
+
++ If no fee is mutally negotiated, then the fee shall be $3000 USD per
+ ten thousand users.
+
+ 3. Make your payment as follows:
+
+ i) Fill out the following and send it off (see iii)
+
+License type ____________________ (see above)
+Cost of license ________ (In dollars)
+Payment type _____________________ (cheque drawn on an Australian
+ bank, international money order, EFT
+ VISA, Master or Bankcard)
+Name/Company ___________________ (On the card/cheque/money order/EFT)
+
+Credit card # ____ ____ ____ ____ (if credit card)
+
+Card Expiry date __/__/__ (if credit card)
+Currency ___ ($US or $AUS)
+Email address ___________________ (e.g currierbell@isp.com)
+Company / site ___________________ (that the license is to be made
+ out to. e.g Stone Head Systems)
+
+ ii) Make the transaction payable to:
+
+ a) In the case of a cheque / money order:
+
+ Australian National Cognitive Facility
+
+ WE WILL NOT ACCEPT INTERNATIONAL CHEQUES, UNLESS
+ SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED. We'd like to be able
+ to accept international cheques but the
+ banking fees and paperwork are unbelievable.
+
+ b) In the case of an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT):
+
+ Please tell us what part of the world you are
+ in and the name of your bank and we will provide
+ you with an appropriate SWIFT/BSB number. This
+ is usually the least painful method if you have
+ access to a modern banking system.
+
+ iii) Send the license request...
+
+ a) In the case of a cheque or international money
+ order, land/air mail to:
+
+ Australian National Cognitive Facility
+ PO BOX 4080
+ Melbourne University 3052
+ Australia
+
+ b) in the case of a credit card, email to:
+
+ nntpcache-license@nntpcache.com
+
+ Or you can FAX to:
+
+ +61-3-9416-2966 (ACNF)
+
+ Or for the truly depraved, snail mail to:
+
+ Australian National Cognitive Facility
+ PO BOX 4080
+ Melbourne University 3052
+ Australia
