</p>
<p>Thank you for acquiring a copy of <i>xv</i>, a pretty nifty X
program. I hope you enjoy using it, as I've enjoyed writing it.</p>
<p>The latest version of <i>xv</i> is available via anonymous <a
name="ftp-site">ftp</a> at <a
href="ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv"><font size="2"><tt>ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/</tt></font></a>.
If you're not sure if you have the latest version, or you are
missing the source or documentation for <i>xv</i>, please pick up
the latest version of the <em>xv</em> distribution. </p>
<h2><a name="licensing-information"><i>xv</i> Licensing
Information</a></h2>
<p><em><strong>xv</strong></em> <b>is shareware for personal use
only.</b></p>
<p>You may use <i>xv</i> for your own amusement, and if you find
it nifty, useful, generally cool, or of some value to you, your
registration fee would be greatly appreciated. $25 is the
standard registration fee, though of course, larger amounts are
quite welcome. Folks who donate $40 or more can receive a
printed, bound copy of the <i>xv</i> manual for no extra charge.
If you want one, just ask. <i>Be sure to specify the version of
xv that you are using!</i></p>
<p><b>Commercial, government, and institutional users </b><strong>must</strong>
<b>register their copies of </b><em><strong>xv</strong></em><b>.</b></p>
<p>This does <i>not</i> mean that you are required to register <i>xv</i>
just because you play with it on the workstation in your office.
That falls under the heading of 'personal use'. If you are a
systems administrator, you can put <i>xv</i> up in a public
directory for your users' amusement. Again, 'personal use',
albeit plural.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you use <i>xv</i> in the course of doing
your work, whatever your 'work' may happen to be, you <i>must</i>
register your copy of <i>xv</i> . (Note: If you are a student,
and you use <i>xv</i> to do classwork or research, you should get
your professor/teacher/advisor to purchase an appropriate number
of copies.)</p>
<p><i>xv</i> licenses are $25 each. You should purchase one
license per workstation, or one per <i>xv</i> user, whichever is
the smaller number. <i>xv</i> is <i>not</i> sold on a 'number of
concurrent users' basis. If <i>xv</i> was some $1000 program,
yes, that would be a reasonable request, but at $25, it's not.
Also, given that <i>xv</i> is completely unlocked, there is no
way to enforce any 'number of concurrent users' limits, so it
isn't sold that way.</p>
<p>Printed and bound copies of the 130-ish page <i>xv</i> manual
are available for $15 each. Note that manuals are <i>only</i>
sold with, at minimum, an equal number of licenses. (e.g. if you
purchase 5 licenses, you can also purchase <i>up to</i> 5 copies
of the manual)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Orders outside the US and Canada must add an additional $5 per
manual ordered to cover the additional shipping charges.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>All payments should be payable to 'John Bradley', and mailed
to:</p>
<p>John Bradley<br>
1053 Floyd Terrace<br>
Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 USA</p>
<h3>Site Licenses</h3>
<p>If you are planning to purchase 10 or more licenses, site
licenses are available, at a substantial discount. Site licenses
let you run <i>xv</i> on any and all computing equipment at the
site, for any purpose whatsoever. The site license covers the
current version of <i>xv</i>, 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 <i>xv</i>
manual, but only for use within the site. Covered versions of the
software may be run in perpetuity.</p>
<p>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 organization (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 <i>xv</i> users or workstations at your
site, whichever is the smaller number.</p>
<p>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.</p>
