*** COPYRIGHT AND RESTRICTIONS *** This software is provided as is. It could and probably does have some minor bugs so I will not guarantee its reliability for long term non-stop operation or for any critical applications and hence because of this I accept no liability for any problems that may arise from you using it. The Avios source code is copyright to me (Neil Robertson) but it is Freeware (NOT public domain) which means you can distribute it to anyone you wish PROVIDING you stick to the restrictions that I make which is that you have not modified the server source code (the whole point of Avios is that you code in AviosPL, you do not alter the C code making up the server) as I DO NOT want modified/hacked versions circulating. You are also NOT permitted to sell the server source code or any files that come with it in its distribution tar file but you can use Avios to run a pay to use system. All AviosPL programs distributed with the server are also freeware and as such the same restrictions apply to them as to the server code except that I'm not too bothered if you distribute modified versions as long as you don't try to sell these versions. You are free to distribute any programs you write in AviosPL and since you are the author of them their copyright belongs to you which means you can sell them. I ask for no royalties on either pay-to-use systems run by Avios or on any AviosPL programs you have written that you sell. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE. Neil Robertson August/September 1997
