Appendix E: License Agreement

Please read the following terms carefully. If you can't agree to them, you
MUST NOT use Sharity.

Definitions

"Objective Development" stands for Heger, Schwarzott, Starkjohann &
    Tiefenbrunner OEG or Christian Starkjohann, whichever of the two
    companies has sold Sharity to you. (We are migrating business from the
    latter to the former, therefore any of the two may be your contract
    partner.)
"You" is the person who receives a license and who is therefore our
    contract partner.
"Sharity" refers to any file distributed within the Sharity Software's
    package. Individual files may have a different copyright, if explicitly
    noted in the file's header.

Terms and conditions for using Sharity

 1. Everyone may use Sharity in demo-mode. The demo-mode limits file access
    to the first three levels of directory hierarchy. It is also limited to
    only one installation in the network which can mount only one CIFS
    server.

 2. You may use Sharity in full featured mode only if you are registered
    by Objective Development. Your proof for the registration is the
    registration key you receive from Objective Development. Each
    registration key contains a unique identifier which identifies its
    owner.

 3. Licenses are issued with restrictions on the number of clients and
    servers that may simultaneously participate in Sharity-mounts. You must
    not exceed these limits, even if it is technically possible.

 4. As an owner of a registration key you must keep the key secret. If
    other users are found who use your key, you are liable for the damage
    that arises to Objective Development. Sharity aids you in keeping the
    key secret: It is stored in encrypted format and it can not be retrieved
    through user interaction.

 5. The conditions for obtaining a registration key are not part of this
    license. You can find them in the internet at the URL:
        http://www.obdev.at/Products/Sharity.html

 6. Code reuse: You must not use parts or all of Sharity's code in any of
    your programs without written permission from Objective Development or
    Christian Starkjohann. Code reuse licenses are available on request.
    Please mail to sharity@obdev.at for details.

Terms and conditions for distributing Sharity

 7. You may copy and distribute Sharity and its documentation, provided
    that no modifications are made. Distribution on CD or by ftp servers
    in the internet are explicitly welcome. However, you must not distribute
    any license keys obtained for this program (see term 4).

Terms and conditions for modifying Sharity

 8. You may modify your copy of Sharity except for the limitations of
    the demo-mode and the supervision of the license limits. Under no
    circumstances are you allowed to change the 3 directory level limit of
    the unlicensed program or the supervision of the license limits!

 9. If you want to distribute a modified version of Sharity, please get in
    contact with us at <sharity@obdev.at>. You must not distribute
    a modified version without written permission from Objective Development
    or Christian Starkjohann (see term 7). We consider a PGP signed e-mail
    as sufficient.

Disclaimer

CHRISTIAN STARKJOHANN AND OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT DISCLAIM ALL
WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, IN NO EVENT SHALL
CHRISTIAN STARKJOHANN OR OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER
RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION
OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTUOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
