MELEE is a Shareware product.  As such, it is made available to the general
computing public for evaluation.  Users are licensed to operate MELEE on
their personal computers for the purpose of test and evaluation on a trial
basis for a limited trial period.  It is not possible to reasonably define
any definitive limits of a fair and equitable time period for evaluation,
therefore it is left to the user's judgment and sense of fair play as to the
time required to make a decision as to its usefulness.  If the user decides
the program is not of sufficient merit to warrant purchase through
registration with The Author, the program should be removed from use on
their personal computer, although they are still encouraged to distribute
the program archive in its complete, shareware form. Otherwise, if the
program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the user's personal
computer system, registration with The Author is required.

Registered users are those users that elect to pay for MELEE and register
that payment with The Author.  By virtue of registration and payment for the
program, registered users are granted a license to continue to utilize the
program on their personal computer for as long as they choose.  This license
authorizes the user to use the program on any personal computer system he or
she may own so long as the program is operated on only one computer system at
a time (multiple computers connected by a local area network are deemed
single systems for the purposes of this registration).

MELEE, in its archived, unregistered form, may be made available to the
general public so that they in turn may evaluate and pass the archive on to
others. If a vendor charges money for cost of providing MELEE to an end user,
that cost may not exceed $5 without prior arrangement by the vendor with The
Author, and this money is not considered part of the MELEE registration.
