Currently AFD-COPYRIGHT is used by developers from at least 12 countries: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America! The concept of a "Standard-Licence" like this one has several advantages: - You as a developer don't have to think about copyright stuff yourself. - The users of your product have to read it only if they haven't done so before. - This document is available in several languages via Aminet®. So you can be sure that the users have read it at least once and did understand it. This is also a first step to "localize" software. (The number in the name of this archive corresponds to the number of languages available in this release.) Some of the ideas were inspired by Osma Ahvenlampi (Paragraphs 2, 3 and 5b). COPYRIGHT & DISTRIBUTION ======================== This software is subject to the "Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note". It is FREEWARE as defined in paragraph 4a. I hope you like it. For more information please read "AFD-COPYRIGHT" (Version 1.4 or higher). If you want to include "AFD-COPYRIGHT"(TM) in your own Amiga® FD-Software package you have to follow the rules stated in "AFD-COPYRIGHT"(TM), chapter 5 "DEVELOPERS INFORMATION". Thank you very much for your support. HISTORY/RELEASE NOTES ===================== The translators of "AFD-COPYRIGHT" and their addresses are stated in the corresponding files.
