问题描述
我有一个网站，我在其中提供免费软件程序。他们是真的
免费软件，而不是试图让人们购买
完整版本的残缺版本。我的用户许可协议的开头（在安装脚本中同意
作为安装要求 - 以及从应用程序的帮助菜单中可以查看
）这个：
版权所有（C）2003由[我的名字]
此应用程序是免费软件。只要不以任何方式反编译或黑客攻击，或者出售，它都可以免费复制和使用，只要它不会被收取费用。
[协议的其余部分是免责声明。]
我最近发现有人把我的程序和其他的b
人的免费软件放在了CD，他收取5美元（美国）的流行音乐（额外的CD为3美元/ b $ b）。他声称他正在遵守所有用户
许可协议。这是他写的：
这张CD上的程序是免费软件。我不收取
计划的费用;我正在为在一个地方收集所有这些程序的时间和精力付费。
关于版权的重要信息
没有版权被篡改！此优惠中的所有内容均已分发
在FREEWARE和SHAREWARE GUIDELINES的法律指南中。
我们不仅仅为收集的服务收费，
重新发布并分发这些节目。
严禁转售此次拍卖，违规者将被起诉
起诉<
很明显，5美元的费用低于他刻录CD的费用以及在北美地区发送的b
（我不确定其余部分的
）
世界）。这是一个从一个程序中赚钱的人，我特意指定为免费软件。当我是我的程序的版权所有者和其他免费软件作者是所有者时，我特别恼怒他起诉HIS版权侵犯他人的b / b
威胁
他们的。这个人没有任何应用程序的版权。
我很好奇，如果你们认为我应该对此提出一个臭味，或者如果
他的收取5块钱收集程序并将其复制到CD上
人们是分发免费软件的合理方式。
I have a web site in which I offer freeware programs. They''re true
freeware, not crippled versions attempting to get people to buy the
full versions. The beginning of my user license agreement (agreed to
in the install script as a requirement for install -- and also
viewable from the app''s help menu) states this:
"Copyright (C) 2003 by [my name]
This application is freeware. It may be freely copied and used at no
charge so long as it is not decompiled or hacked in any way, or sold.
[The rest of the agreement is a disclaimer of liability.]"
I''ve recently discovered that someone has put my program, and other
people''s freeware, on a CD that he is charging $5(US) a pop for ($3
for additional CDs). He claims he''s complying with all the user
license agreements. Here''s what he writes:
"The programs on this CD are Freeware. I am not charging for the
programs; I am charging for my time and efforts in collecting all of
these programs in one place.
Important Information about Copyrights
NO COPYRIGHTS ARE VIOLATED!! EVERYTHING IN THIS OFFER IS DISTRIBUTED
WITHIN THE LEGAL GUIDELINES OF THE FREEWARE AND SHAREWARE GUIDELINES.
WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THE PROGRAMS ONLY FOR THE SERVICE TO GATHER,
REPRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE THESE PROGRAMS.
Resale of this auction is strictly prohibited, violators will be
prosecuted"
It''s clear that the 5 bucks is less than his costs to burn a CD and
mail it within North America (I''m not sure about the rest of the
world). Here''s someone who is making money off of a program that I
specifically designated as freeware. I''m particularly annoyed at his
threat to prosecute violators of HIS copyright when I''m the copyright
owner of my program and the other freeware authors are the owners of
theirs. This guy owns no copyright to any of the apps.
I''m curious if you guys think I should raise a stink over this or if
his charging 5 bucks to collect programs and copy them onto a CD for
people is a reasonable way to distribute freeware.
