JHelp License and Conditions
of Use
This is a legal agreement in effect between Vermalt LLC and you the user by
virtue of your possession of JHelp (also known as Java Help Content API).
It applies to the Free Trial License, Team License, and Site License, and Multi-Site
License Versions of JHelp. If you do
not agree to these terms and conditions then you may not install, use, or distribute
any Versions of JHelp.
1. License and Ownership
JHelp is a licensed software product.
JHelp, including its accompanying files and documentation, is owned and copyrighted
by Vermalt LLC, © Copyright 2003, all rights reserved.
Vermalt LLC grants the user a free nonexclusive
license to download and use the Free Trial Version of JHelp for evaluation and
development as well as for any lawful non-commercial purposes provided the terms
of this agreement are met.
To deploy software that uses JHelp in any commercial
context, either in-house or externally, you must purchase either the Team License,
Site License, or Multi-Site License.
Vermalt LLC grants the user in possession of
an official receipt of purchase for the Team License, Site License, or Multi-Site
License Version of JHelp a nonexclusive license to download and use JHelp for
any lawful commercial or non-commercial purposes provided the terms of this
agreement are met.
2. Distribution
You may reproduce and freely distribute copies
of the Free Trial Version of JHelp distribution file (.zip) to third parties
provided you do not do so for profit and each copy is unaltered and complete.
Individual use is defined as one person having
the ability to read or copy any of the files originally contained in the JHelp
distribution file including (but not limited to) the .jar, .class, .java, and
.html files.
If you purchased a Team License Version of JHelp,
JHelp may be used by up to four employees (including yourself) of your company
whose primary work address is within a 100 mile (160 km) radius of your primary
work address. These individuals then have individual use rights and responsibilities.
If you purchased a Site License Version of JHelp,
then you may provide copies of the JHelp distribution file (.zip) to anyone
employed by your company whose primary work address is within a 100 mile (160
km) radius of your primary work address. These individuals then have individual
use rights and responsibilities.
If you purchased a Multi-Site License Version
of JHelp, then you may provide copies of the JHelp distribution file (.zip)
to anyone employed by your company located at any address. These individuals
then have individual use rights and responsibilities.
You must take appropriate safeguards to protect
this product from unauthorized access by others.
In all cases the copies of the JHelp distribution
file (.zip) must be unaltered and complete, including this license agreement
and all copyright notices. You may not
reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or modify this software or its accompanying
documentation in any way.
If you purchased either a Team License, Site
or Multi-Site License Version of JHelp, you may reproduce and redistribute a
copy of the .class files and .dll file in JHelp as part of any Java-based software
developed and licensed by you that itself uses JHelp provided:
a) your software has clearly
distinct and added functionality,
b) you are responsible for
all technical support,
c) the JHelp application programming
interfaces are not documented, exposed, or otherwise made available by your
software,
d) you do not allow recipients
of your software to reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or copy portions
from your software allowing them to gain separate access to JHelp or any parts
of it, and
e) you do not distribute
to recipients of your software the bytecode of the class names and methods of
the JHelp section of your software. All of the JHelp Class files (class names
and method names) must be obfuscated (a software development term), making the
Java code more secure against decompilation and other forms of reverse engineering.
The JHelp .jar file may only be used in building
your software. It may be distributed as part of the overall JHelp distribution
file (.zip) as described above, but neither the Jar or any files from within
the Jar file may be distributed separately, except for the Class files as described
above.
The source code samples included with this package
and in the JHelp documentation may be freely used, modified, incorporated,
and distributed without restriction as part of any software that uses JHelp
itself.
