Folks who donate +$40 or more can receive a printed, bound copy of the XV manual for no +extra charge. If you want one, just ask. BE SURE TO SPECIFY THE +VERSION OF XV THAT YOU ARE USING! + +COMMERCIAL, GOVERNMENT, AND INSTITUTIONAL USERS MUST REGISTER THEIR +COPIES OF XV. + +This does *not* mean that you are required to register XV just because +you play with it on the workstation in your office. This falls under +the heading of 'personal use'. If you are a sysadmin, you can put XV +up in a public directory for your users amusement. Again, 'personal +use', albeit plural. + +On the other hand, if you use XV in the course of doing your work, +whatever your 'work' may happen to be, you *must* register your +copy of XV. (Note: If you are a student, and you use XV to do +classwork or research, you should get your professor/teacher/advisor +to purchase an appropriate number of copies.) + +XV licenses are $25 each. You should purchase one license per +workstation, or one per XV user, whichever is the smaller number. XV +is *not* sold on a 'number of concurrent users' basis. If XV was some +$1000 program, yes, that would be a reasonable request, but at $25, +it's not. Also, given that XV is completely unlocked, there is no way +to enforce any 'number of concurrent users' limits, so it isn't sold +that way. + +Printed and bound copies of the 100-odd page XV manual are available +for $15 each. Note that manuals are *only* sold with, at minimum, an +equal number of licenses. (e.g. if you purchase 5 licenses, you can +also purchase *up to* 5 copies of the manual) + +The source code to the program can be had (as a compressed 'tar' file +split over a couple 3.5" MS-DOS formatted floppies) for $15, for those +who don't have ftp capabilities. + +Orders outside the US and Canada must add an additional $5 per manual +ordered to cover the additional shipping charges. + +Checks, money orders, and purchase orders are accepted. Credit cards +are not. All forms of payment must be payable in US Funds. Checks +must be payable through a US bank (or a US branch of a non-US bank). +Purchase orders for less than $50, while still accepted, are not +encouraged. + +All payments should be payable to 'John Bradley', and mailed to: + John Bradley + 1053 Floyd Terrace + Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 + USA + + +Site Licenses +------------- +If you are planning to purchase 10 or more licenses, site licenses are +available, at a substantial discount. Site licenses let you run XV on +any and all computing equipment at the site, for any purpose +whatsoever. The site license covers the current version of XV, and +any versions released within one year of the licensing date. You are +also allowed to duplicate and distribute an unlimited number of copies +of the XV manual, but only for use within the site. Covered versions +of the software may be run in perpetuity. + +Also, it should be noted that a 'site' can be defined as anything +you'd like. It can be a physical location (a room, building, +location, etc.), an organizational grouping (a workgroup, department, +division, etc.) or any other logical grouping ("the seventeen +technical writers scattered about our company", etc.). + +The site license cost will be based on your estimate of the number of +XV users or workstations at your site, whichever is the smaller +number. + +If you are interested in obtaining a site license, please contact the +author via electronic mail or FAX (see below for details). Send +information regarding your site (the name or definition of the 'site', +a physical address, a fax number, and an estimate of the number of +users or workstations), and we'll get a site license out to you for +your examination. -- cgit v1.2.3
