LICENSE The Puma Protocol(TM) is copyright (C)1990 by Matthew Thomas. The registered version of The Puma Protocol may not be duplicated other than for backup purposes. A registered copy of Puma may not be used in more than one computer at the same time, with one exception: Bulletin Board System Operators may purchase a single license for the Puma Protocol which allows simultaneous use of the registered program by multiple nodes of a BBS (the nodes must be connected via a local area network, or a multi-tasking subsystem). The serial number that is presented to registered users may not be given to any other user for any purpose. The serial number should remain confidential, and is the user's assurance of a unique copy of Puma which is registered in their name. Users are granted a limited license to use the Shareware version of the Puma Protocol for a limited evaluation period of up to 30 days, in order to determine if it suits their needs. Any other use of Puma or use past this period requires registration. All users are granted a limited license to copy the Shareware version of Puma only for the purpose of allowing others to evaluate it, subject to the above restrictions as well as these: The Puma Protocol must be distributed in unmodified form, including all program and documentation files. Puma may not be included with any other product for any reason whatsoever without prior written consent from Matthew Thomas. No charge or payment may be accepted for Puma. Bulletin Board system operators may post the unregistered, Shareware version of The Puma Protocol on their BBS for downloading by their users without written permission only if the above conditions are met, and only if no special fee is necessary to access the Puma files (a general fee to access the BBS is acceptable). Distributors of Shareware and Public Domain software MUST obtain written permission from Matthew Thomas before distributing The Puma Protocol and must follow the above conditions. Permission is almost always granted; this requirement is necessary to ensure protection for the author and users of Puma from unscrupulous individuals. REGISTRATION/ORDERING INFORMATION Registering Puma allows you to use the product after the trial period. Registered Puma users get their own User ID and serial number, as well as top priority for software support. (Limited support is available to unregistered users).
