21 +The Software Preservation Society ("SPS")
22 +Licence Agreement (Licence, Copyright and Terms of Use)
23 +
24 +SPS technology is exclusively represented and licensed by
25 +KryoFlux Products & Services Limited, 80 Allington Way, Maidstone,
26 +ME16 0HN, United Kingdom
27 +
28 +
29 +ATTENTION: READ CAREFULLY: By using, copying, or distributing the
30 +accompanying software you indicate your acceptance of the following
31 +SPS Licence Agreement ("Agreement").
32 +
33 +
34 +PREAMBLE
35 +
36 +The SPS philosophy dictates that the technology associated with capturing
37 +floppy disk based software should be provided to "the community" for free
38 +(free as in "free beer") to the greatest extent possible in order to
39 +facilitate digital preservation efforts.
40 +
41 +This licence enforces that philosophy. It protects against misuse of
42 +a technology that has been a long time in development and is provided
43 +to the community or anyone else who would like to use it. It also
44 +intends to protect SPS itself from possible legal liability.
45 +
46 +
47 +SPS technology covered by this license can be divided into two categories:
48 +
49 +KRYOFLUX HIGH DEFINITION FLUX SAMPLER FOR USB: Preservation starts at
50 +the ingestion level. SPS therefore has developed a combination of hard
51 +and software targeted at software preservation called KryoFlux. KryoFlux
52 +software may be used for private, non-commercial purposes only. KryoFlux
53 +hardware schematics are provided for private, non-commercial use as well.
54 +Therefore private users can decide to build a KryoFlux board on their own,
55 +as long as the board is used for private purposes only and as long as such
56 +boards are not being sold to others (this includes boards given away for
57 +any kind of compensation). Licenses for commercial, government or academic
58 +use of KryoFlux can be applied for by contacting us at the email at the
59 +bottom of this license.
60 +
61 +CTA SOFTWARE PRESERVATION ANALYSER: This product is the core of SPS
62 +technology and is under constant development since 2001. The Analyser
63 +is used by SPS internally and also available as a commercial product for
64 +institutes, libraries, archives and museums. The Analyser is not free, it
65 +is commercial software. This means that possession or distribution without
66 +a proper licence is breach of international copyright treaties.
67 +
68 +
69 +The IPF support library is covered by a separate license and is
70 +specifically excluded from the terms laid out in this license, available
71 +in the IPF support library distribution.
72 +
73 +
74 +You may notice that this licence is very strict in pursuit of getting
75 +the software into the hands of people who wish to use it for free. You
76 +can not distribute it without written permission, charge to give it to
77 +somebody, not even for media costs. You cannot have it on a CD ROM that is
78 +distributed for payment. You cannot use it as part of providing a service
79 +that receives payment in any form.
80 +
81 +Any source provided (if any) is for inspection, understanding and
82 +safe keeping only. This will ensure that data capture or stored with
83 +SPS technology can still be accessed in the future even if there is
84 +no successor or representative of SPS available.
85 +
86 +Infringement of any of the terms of this licence is breaching
87 +international copyright laws, but it also hurts the communities
88 +benefiting from the technology by risking its future improvement
89 +and availability.
90 +
91 +This licence was not produced for the fun of it, you should note that
92 +only those who could possibly benefit financially are being restricted.
93 +Those people should negotiate an alternative license, which helps fund
94 +future development and our preservation activities.
95 +
96 +If you do not agree with any of the terms in this licence for the
97 +Technology then you are obviously free to choose not to use it.
98 +
99 +The latest version of this licence, libraries and imaging software can be
100 +found on the following sites:
101 +
102 + http://www.softpres.org
103 +
104 + http://www.kryoflux.com
105 +
106 +
107 +It is very easy to comply with this licence: Do not sell, modify or
108 +abuse the software and don't steal code from source provided. Learn,
109 +understand and write your own if you need to. Feel free to ask if you
110 +want to use something you can not create on your own. That's it.
111 +Everything else mentioned is here for those who may not understand
112 +these simple rules.
113 +
114 +
115 +1. CLARIFICATION. The software product and accompanying documentation
116 + (the program's object code, source code and documentation, explicitly
117 + excluding the file format definitions (e.g. but not limited to IPF,
118 + STREAM, DRAFT) included within, are collectively referred to as the
119 + "Technology") is a technology and does not imply any restrictions,
120 + warranty, licence, obligation or any other link or association with
121 + what it may contain (the data ingested or encapsulated by the
122 + Technology is referred to as the "Content").
123 +
124 + Unless otherwise noted, The Software Preservation Society ("SPS")
125 + does not hold the copyright of the Content, the data being ingested,
126 + reproduced, preserved, represented using the Technology. All copyright
127 + of Content provided using the Technology is held by its respective
128 + owners. Terms and conditions may apply to the Content that do not
129 + affect whatsoever the licence agreement provided with the Technology.
130 +

272 +
273 +9. INDEMNIFICATION. You and your distributees shall defend, indemnify

290 + provisions of this Agreement.
291 +
292 +
293 +11. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement represents the complete agreement

302 + newer licence.
303 +
304 + Any term of this Agreement which is, or is deemed to be, unlawful
305 + shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity without
306 + rendering invalid the remaining terms hereof. This Agreement shall
307 + be construed and enforced with the same force and effect as if
308 + entered into and performed in England and Wales and shall, in all
309 + respects, be interpreted in accordance with, and governed by the
310 + laws of this country.
311 +
312 + Anything else not covered by this agreement must be agreed with
313 + us before any action can be taken by any party.
