Restrictions on the distribution of F-PROT The F-PROT shareware package must always be distributed complete and without modifications. We publish a detached PGP signature for the entire package, and any modifications to the file will invalidate that signature. The only authorized modification involves the file available from the Garbo FTP site. We can accept the modification, as we upload the file directly there. However, because of this modification, the PGP signature cannot be used to check the file available on Garbo. Any other modifications to the package, including the addition of BBS advertisements are strictly forbidden - we want to be able to assure the users of our package that the product they receive is identical to the one we released. Mass distribution of F-PROT in magazines or books requires approval from us. The same restriction applies to "bundling" of F-PROT with other products, including distribution as a part of a larger package or pre-installation on hard disks. F-PROT shareware may be made available on FTP and BBS sites, as well as included on CD-ROMs containing other shareware/freeware programs, such as the SIMTEL and GARBO collection CD-ROMs, provided the conditions below are not violated. Any distribution of F-PROT is subject to the following restrictions: We do not want to have F-PROT distributed together with viruses, virus source code, virus construction programs or virus creation material such as 40Hex, Crypt or the Nuke newsletters. Please note that this also includes the so-called "Virus Simulator" from Rosenthal Engineering. Therefore, 1) F-PROT may not under any circumstances be made available on a site which makes such material freely available. 2) F-PROT may not be included on a CD-ROM (or similar media) containing such material. 3) F-PROT may not be distributed as a part of a package containing such material. We will consider legal action in the case of any violation of those three conditions.
