I just uploaded a new page. The PW_CD column has these notations:

INCLUDED (permitted by the EULA or the author has given permission)
OMITTED (redistribution is not allowed)
asked (I have emailed the author requesting permission)

If you sort the page on the PW_CD column you will see about 50 programs
without *any* notation.

X-Setup Pro, version 6.5, the one you link to first at:
<http://www.pricelessware.org/2004/PL2004PROGRAMMING.htm#A818>
with <http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4083.html>

Redistributional in our case, see second paragraph in quote from the
relevant part of the EULA below.
(Eula is the first thing the user sees when installing it, and have to
click accept to proceed. Eula also explains of course when it is
freeware and not).

DISTRIBUTION

It is allowed to include X-Setup Pro on a cover CD-ROM for a book
or a magazine without asking the permission of Xteq Systems or
dotec.de, but only if Xteq Systems or dotec.de are informed about
this. This information of Xteq Systems and dotec.de can be made
by writing an email to (e-mail address removed).

Ps: as I guess you know X-teg have announced they will go shareware,
but have said versions prior to 7.0, thus 6.x, will still be freeware
for those that qualify according to the current licence.

Then for later: Try, save the attachment instead of open, then open it
as any file from within Explorer or any file manager. If it does not
save with RAR extension, then just rename it *.rar after having saved
it. Then try dbl-click/or File Open from your archiver. If your
archiver can not handle rar files you know where to look, like
<http://www.pricelessware.org/2004/PL2004FILEUTILITIES.htm#Archives:Unzip>
<http://www.pricelessware.org/2004/PL2004FILEUTILITIES.htm#Archives:Zip-Unzip>
or get free unrar from <http://www.rarsoft.com/rar_add.htm>

If your e-mail client did not decode it from MIME BASE64 when you
saved it, so it is not yet a "rar" file but a "MIME" one (look at it
with text viewer to get an idea) then use
UUDWin32 (*) <http://my.execpc.com/~mspankus/>
to decode it first, check that name of output file - make sure it
*.rar or make it so, then use unrar/archiver.

(*) and if you do use UUDWin32 you might even support my nomination
for it next year, did not make it last
"UUDWin (Email And News Tool) 4 (out)"

I use Star Downloader (though IT seems to decide when ;\). I looked
for an e-mail, but couldn't find any. Followed the help files to the
site for a contact (under support), and all I found there was an
online form for sending a message:

http://www.stardownloader.com/
support_contact.php?PHPSESSID=d7e011f74208ddbdf340a089b079b1ae

found it:

http://www.stardownloader.com/press.php?PHPSESSID=7952169416a6b2719c1916583ed9ad1b

<q>
Anyone may distribute both versions in anyway they see fit as long as
they remain in an unmodified state and no profit is being made from the
distribution.

In particular we encourage software magazines etc. that wants to include
the software on a CD or similar to do so. There is no need for any
written permission in addition to this one.

WAssociate: Redistributable

because: no licence file as such nor any "no-distribution" clause in
the distribution (zip archive) or program. No help-about screen
either. Only thing with info in the archive is the (very helpful as
such) manual pages (html), which can also bee seen online. The
WAssociate.html page (framed, open index.html) in the archive says the
same as the online page (also framed) about status:

Can not find any other info about this on the authors main page:
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~wstudios/index.html>.

I discovered the email address by looking at the exe file properties -
have emailed asking for permission. . .

I think I'll apply for a P.I. (private investigaor) license

more exe files to check out - now that I know useful info may lurk there
- unless somebody does it for me (hint, hint).

I just uploaded a revised page:

only a few blanks left. . . quite a few I haven't heard back from yet.

(NOTE: an ISO of the CD may be available for
download if details can be worked out.)

That is an excellent idea. Saves people time waiting for a mailed
CD "master", or "copy", to arrive at their place. If a list of the
pricelessware software that isn't included on the CD is on the CD
and/or elsewhere then that would be even better.

Perhaps something like ;

http://www.pricelessware.org/2004/PL2004ProgramIndexCD.php

BUT would it still be usable (read sortable) if included ?

Regards, John.

ACF has received approval to distribute Popcorn (the versions that are
Pricelessware).

The latest on who's been asked, what's been appoved (or denied) is here:

*about* 20 programs still missing redistribution and/or contact info. . .

I was going to put it on my site. The space is no problem, but the
bandwidth might be. I'm right at 12 gigs out of 30 for March, so I
have 18 gigs to spare. I guess I'm good for 20 downloads or so per
month.

Hi REM,

Why not let the people that are going to burn copies have *first* chance
at downloading the ISO from your site - since it appears you will have
to ration the number of people who are allowed to download?

FWIW - ISTM that *next* year the process would work better if the person
who *assembles* the final CD had a high speed connection. I could easily
email web pages etc. to whoever had the programs. . . just looking down
the road a bit. . .

meanwhile. . . we're still working on this year

and I'm *not* planning to download the new version of OO

Maybe derek and someone else can provide for alternate download sites
to allow for faster proliferation.

Or, possibly one of the programs like WinMX can be used by some of the
first people to get the image to allow others with fast connections to
get it from them.

Can anyone volunteer to get the image and make it available a via file
sharing program?

I don't have anything useful to add - will just keep reading the thread
and see what you come up with.

I suppose this is necessary, although the WinMx way will allow it to
reach people quickly also.

who *assembles* the final CD had a high speed connection. I could easily
email web pages etc. to whoever had the programs. . . just looking down

Yes, OO is a good example of a late entry.

meanwhile. . . we're still working on this year

and I'm *not* planning to download the new version of OO

I don't blame you there.

I don't have anything useful to add - will just keep reading the thread
and see what you come up with.

Is anyone with a cable connect willing to make the image available
via file sharing?
