GenieGate, Version 1.1.0 (PHP 5) manual

Appendix E. License

[Tip] Tip

The main purpose of this license is the disclaimer and the text link requirement. In general, just use common sense, meaning don't redistribute it or hold me responsible for any damages. If you are using the free version, you must do some advertising. That means the links must be provided on every sign-up and login form, with the text "User Management Solutions" as the text of the link. This is not a request, this is a requirement

Countless hours and money have been invested into the development of this software package. Please don't force us into a position where we must charge. We're often looking for graphic and web help, if you really need to use this package without the text links and can't pay for a license, please contact to work out a trade.

Web designers or virtual host providers may share the software among multiple clients. (this was, after all, the whole point of the ~/geniegate/ directory structure)

The networked file systems clause is provided to make it possible to run multiple copies on ISP's that have several machines networked together. The firewall portion is intended to prevent this clause from being abused.

You may use it for free provided the link <A HREF="http://www.geniegate.com/">GenieGate Membership Protection</A> or <A HREF="http://www.geniegate.com/">GenieGate User Management Solutions</A> is present anywhere a login box or sign-up form exist.

Additionally, the tag-line that is sent out with email messages must also be present.

These links must be clearly visible on each sign-up and login page.
