License

The Joe's/V4/V4Net/V5 software runs under the MIT license, also called X11 license, as printed in below box.

The above printed MIT/X11 license is so nice short. But it does not cover our precise wishes. So we may change to a license like the Indication that you leave this domain GNU GPL, or we may introduce specifications as seen in the Indication that you leave this domain Paint.NET license in the future. Until then, please note this additional box:

We expect, that you obey to our actual intentions, which are told here in humble non-layer words:
 
(1) For the end user, the executables and the sources shall be free and redistributable anyway.
 
(2) For programmers, the sources shall be free for any changes, but the changes shall not be published from anywhere. The public home of the project shall remain Trilo Software e.K. Who wants publish her or his work on the program, shall do it through the Trilo Software's repositories.

Furthermore, in Joe's/V4/V4Net/V5, third party licenses are involved as listed below.

Copyright © Corel Corporation:   Paradox 9. The installer version of V4 comes with Paradox 9 Runtime, the free redistributable Paradox engine. You don't need think about. Only if you want edit the V4 sorcecode, you need your own full Paradox 9, which is to purchase.

Copyright © Borland Corporation:   The Borland Database Engine. It comes free with the Paradox 9 Runtime in the installer version of V4/V4Net/Joes. On many machines it is already installed unrecognized with any other product accessing Paradox tables.

Copyright © Data Design AG:   The DDBAC COM Objects. They do HBCI communication with the bank. If you don't have those modules on your machine, you can run V4/V4Net/Joes anyway, just not talk HBCI.

The GNU GPL is protecting several third party modules contained in Joe's/V4/V4Net/V5. The end user does not need think about, since our MIT/X11 license is compatible with their GPL. Only a developer wanting to make use of special features of the MIT/X11, must have a closer look to the details.

For deeper insights into licensing in general, please see the chapter Indication that you leave this domain Licenses in the Downtown Programmer's Corner. Or just ask us.

<!-- This chapter was written quickly. Some details about third party modules are still missing. But the cornerstones are told. -->

Bye
