          WHAT'S BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT SHAREDEBATE INTERNATIONAL
        
        "Electronic publishing has arrived!  ShareDebate
        International is a bold, exciting venture that deserves
        the attention and support of everyone who seeks to
        create a better tomorrow."
                                                     --Ben Bova
                             (President, SF Writers of America;
                                former editor of OMNI & Analog;
                      former President, National Space Society)
        
        "ShareDebate International is one of the most
        interesting developments on the electronic-publishing
        scene, proving that large circulation and big-name
        writers are no longer available only to publishers with
        large corporate backing.  The day of grassroots mass-
        market publishing is here at last."
                                             --J. Neil Schulman
                             Prometheus award-winning SF author
        
        
         How does ShareDebate International compare with other
            pro-free market, independent-thinking magazines?
        
        "ShareDebate International is a terrific magazine, well
        edited and executed.   I am very interested in the
        nexus between Economics, Freedom and technology. Add
        Philosophy and it is a powerful brew.  It is the
        paradigm of the publication of the information age."

              of America's patent laws. A side question to this
              debate is are there even better patent systems

               COPYRIGHT STATEMENT AND REVISED LICENSE TO
              DISTRIBUTE AND USE SHAREDEBATE INTERNATIONAL
        
                          COPYRIGHT STATEMENT:
        
           The written material in Sharedebate International
        (S.I. hereafter) is fully copyrighted, either by
        R.H. Martin or the copyright owner of the individual
        articles in the magazine (which will be clearly stated
        at the front of the article).  All rights are reserved.
        Individual articles may sometimes be designated as not-
        copyrighted and those exceptions will be explicitly
        revealed.  S.I. is NOT in the public domain.  The
        distinction between shareware, freeware, and public
        domain is explained in this document.
        
                 REVISED LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE AND USE:
        
           Redistribution of S.I. is encouraged.  Please do
        share it with your friends, upload it to bulletin board
        systems, etc.  However, as this magazine is made
        available for you free of charge, that does not mean
        that it is free of usage restrictions.  What follows is
        the current license to distribute and use it.
        
           Although S.I. is copyright-protected, you may
        distribute issues of the magazine freely on a non-
        exclusive basis without additional written permission
        as long as you abide by all of the following
        restrictions:
        
        1.  The program shall be supplied in its original,
            unmodified form, which includes this documentation.
            A few minor deviations are allowed:
        
            You are permitted to ADD (not replace) a standard
            "header" file or (in the case of a BBS archive
            distribution) a standard "header" archive comment
            which limits itself to (a) a short ad for your
            company and/or (b) a standard get-started file used
            with all of your distributions.
        
            You are permitted to use high density diskettes and
            to include more than one S.I. issue per diskette as
            long as each issue is contained in its ready-to-run
            unarchived manner in a separate directory.  Include
            an easy to read or use root-directory file that
            explains to users how to access the different
            directory-located issues.
        
            If you use diskettes to distribute your offerings,
            you are NOT permitted to bundle S.I. issues on the
            same diskette(s) that contain material made by
            others including by you, with the exception of the
            "header" file or archive comment mentioned above.
        
            If you bundle your offerings on a BBS, a hard disk
            or removable large-storage device (such as a
            Bernoulli, Syquest, floptical or CD-ROM), other
            software products can be included, but not in the
            same directory(s) that contain S.I. issues.
        
        2.  No fee may be charged for the magazine content,
            although you may charge whatever fee you want for
            the blank diskette, formatting, copying, packaging,
            BBS-general-access charges, distribution and
            mailing involved.  It must be obvious to the
            customer that they are not being charged for the
            magazine, but rather for the above
            handling/shipping costs.
        
        3.  Unless you have personalized written permission
            from Applied Foresight, Inc. (AFI hereafter), you
            may not assert that (a) you have made special
            arrangements with AFI or R.H. Martin to
            distribute ShareDebate International or (b) that
            AFI or R.H. Martin endorses your organization or
            any other product that you're involved with.
        
        4.  If you charge anything for distributing S.I.,
            including shipping/handling or BBS membership fees,
            you must provide AFI (address below) with your full
            address and material (diskette copy, brochure,
            catalog, or print-screens in the case of a BBS)
            showing how you "carry" S.I..  Exceptions are made
            for those BBSs and networks to whom R.H. Martin or
            AFI upload to, including BBSs who regularly carry
            SDN (Shareware Distribution Network) files.
        
        5.  Paper-based sold editions of ShareDebate
            International are not allowed to be copied except
            teachers may make copies for their own, and only
            their own, students.  If more than one teacher
            desires a printed copy, each teacher must order
            their own paper-based edition.  The paper-based
            edition is NOT to be considered Shareware nor
            Freeware.  The paper-based edition is a
            copyrighted-commercial product.
        
        
              REPRINTING SELECTED ARTICLES IN SHAREDEBATE
                             INTERNATIONAL:
        
           Articles in ShareDebate International not written by
        R.H. Martin mostly are copyright-owned by someone else.
        Although the entire magazine can be distributed as
        defined above, individual articles need to be
        separately negotiated for.  As for articles written by
        R.H. Martin, permission to reprint will almost always
        be granted to reprint it on a non-exclusive basis as an
        individual article reprint.  Contact me ahead of time
        and I can provide you with the article's text in an
        easy to use word-processing form, assuming permission
        is granted.  I do seek fairness and if your standard
        reprint policy is to pay a small sum, I expect the
        same.  If your standard reprint policy is to pay
        nothing, I would not expect any money but I would want
        two copies of the publication.  In your request for
        reprinting, provide me with a sample copy of your
        publication.  I will provide you with the proper credit
        line to use.
        
                   AREAS NOT COVERED BY THIS LICENSE:
        
           There may be other situations not covered by this
        license.  Contact me and we'll talk about it.  But
        this license does not authorize any such distribution
        without express, written permission from me in advance.
        
                              NO WARRANTY:
        
           S.I. is distributed without warranties of any kind,
        express or implied, including, but not limited to, the
        implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
        particular purpose.
        
           However, defective diskettes, if returned within 30
        days or a direct back-issue order, will be replaced
        once free of charge.  (Afterwards, an additional
        shipping and diskette cost will be requested.)
        
        
               SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BACK ISSUE AVAILABILITY:
        
             As a convenience to those without modems or to
        those with modems who don't want to download nearly 2MB
        of existing magazines, back issues are available on
        diskette.  The content is freeware but diskettes,
        postage, packaging, and handling isn't. To get it free
        one has to obtain it from the multitude of no-charge
        BBSs that carry it.  According to the project leader
        for SDN, the main Fidonet feed BBS's (a few thousand)
        for the 22,000 fidonet BBSs carry the SDN files, which
        include ShareDebate International (scan for
        DBATE*.SDN).  Also carrying the magazine are any BBS
        that carries the latest PC-SIG CD ROM (disk #s 2121,
        2260, 2390, 2749, 2750, 2753);  BIX (IBM.UTILS
        filearea); or GEnie (IBMPC RT Applications library).
        Search for the filename pattern, DBATE*.*.  As of this
        date, all of these carry the existing 8 issues.  PC-SIG
        has or will shortly release issues 7-8.  The POLITICS
        forum on Compuserve carries most if not all of the
        issues as of issue 9.  (Note: issue 12's addendum--
        DBATE013--isn't carried on Compuserve as it only
        contained Clinton's legislation for his Health Act
        which is otherwise available in POLITICS.)
        
           Pre-existing subscriptions or future subscriptions
        ordered on the basis of information in old copies of
        the magazine will be honored and those subscribers will
        be sent the future number of S.I. issues that they
        ordered, and if their order included getting back
        issues, they'll be sent too.
        
           Otherwise, S.I. orders are only solicited for
        current year and back issue copies (for most persons,
        obtaining the back issues on diskette will be cheaper
        than your phone/computer charges to download all back
        issues). What you will be paying for is not the content
        of the magazines, but the packaging, shipping, time and
        costs incurred.  Your costs will vary depending upon
        (a) your country location and (b) the quantity ordered.
        See the next paragraph for specifics.
        
             Special back-issue deal for owners of an IBM
        PC/compatible or Macintosh (who MUST have be able to
        read 1.44 MB diskettes).  Reference this filename and
        where you obtained it, and for $25, you will get all
        the existing issues of ShareDebate International.  As a
        freebie, you'll also get 1992-1994 back issues of
        Imprimis Online, a freeware electronic publication
        packaged by Applied Foresight for Hillsdale College,
        the publisher of the paper-based, 505,000 circulated
        Imprimis -- the most pro-free market college monthly in
        existence.
        
            Indicate the highest capacity diskette you can take
        and whether you have a hard disk or not.  Canadians,
        add $2; International orders, add $5.  Pay in US $
        against a US bank.  Visa/MC accepted (include
        expiration date & name as it appears on the card).  MN
        residents add 6.5 % sales tax.  2 to 6 weeks delivery
        time.  EMAIL orders accepted.  Write or Email to the
        Applied Foresight, Inc. address given above.
        
            (Mac users have to have the 1.44 MB diskette
        because Mac users are actually serviced on an IBM
        computer that uses the Mac-n-DOS software which can
        only format and read/write with 1.44 diskettes.)   Mac
        users need to have in their possession already an UNZIP
        utility capable of handling version 1.1 and 2.04g
        versions of PKZIP files -- such utilities are widely
        available on MAC BBSs -- if you don't have an UNZIP
        utility, then please don't order the MAC version of
        ShareDebate International.
        
           Note: ShareDebate International did not publish any
        Issues in 1992, so there are only the 1990, 1991, 1993
        & 1994 issues available.
