People may go divergently (not for masses) or convergently (for masses). Since I do not always want to swim in the waters the same way as the masses do (telling you either to purchase a license or begging you to donate), I invented the REQUIRED DONATION LICENSE as the only person in the world. This is FREEDOM. Thus, this software is free for personal use but companies/institutions are required to donate. The donation is 200/150/100/50/25 US dollars (without support) for every piece of this software that is intended to run on one network segment. This is REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE only because you may easily setup your own MaheshaBSD Server with NetBSD (MaheshaNetBSD) or DragonFly BSD (MaheshaDragonFlyBSD). Thus, you are not really required to DONATE if you do not use MAHESHABSD SERVER but choose MaheshaNetBSD or MaheshaDragonFly BSD instead. I want you to donate the money to OpenBSD (see that my name is listed there) and FreeBSD projects (and also to me, NetBSD and DragonFly BSD). The REQUIRED DONATION is my own philosophy. If you feel 200 dollars is a lot of money, I may go down to the amount of 50 US dollars, but I will ask you also to donate some funds to the abovementioned projects. If you plan to use MaheshaBSD Server for personal purposes only, you are not bound by any restrictions as regards the number of networks you want to use this REQUIRED DONATION software on. However, you can donate, but you do not need to if you are not a corporation.
The DONATION can be made by check or bank transfer or by PayPal. Just e-mail me for more information.
There is no money-back guarantee, as you are allowed to test this software freely for the period of three weeks after which then you may decide on sending the REQUIRED DONATION (not really a purchase) amount.
The price 200 (or 150/100/50/25) US dollars is without support. The support may be agreed upon request.
The SOFTWARE presented as MaheshaBSD Server is and can be distributed under the following terms: Copyright (c) 2012, Juraj Sipos. All rights reserved.
MaheshaBSD Server and MaheshaBSD have two different licenses and the following license (REQUIRED DONATION LICENSE) pertains to MaheshaBSD Server edition only (to the assemblage that makes it the ready and swift SERVER edition).
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: This REQUIRED DONATION LICENSE Agreement is a legal agreement between you and the author of MaheshaBSD Server. By installing, copying, or otherwise using MaheshaBSD Server (REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE), you agree to be bound by the terms of this REQUIRED DONATION Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not install or use this SOFTWARE.
This REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold. The REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE is the author's assemblage of scripts and the author's copyrighted documentation (MaheshaBSD Server). The SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server) is FREE for personal use. Corporate businesses/institutions (entities) must DONATE MONEY. Every such entity can test the SOFTWARE freely for the period of THREE weeks and it may then decide on its REQUIRED DONATION sum. Should such an entity decide to DONATE FUNDS, there is no money back guarantee, as the period of THREE weeks is sufficient enough for the end-user entity to decide on the REQUIRED DONATION for the SOFTWARE and the entities that will receive the DONATION. The SOFTWARE, after being tested and no money has been donated, must be removed from all computers of all entities wishing to test it, as it is FREE solely for the purpose of PERSONAL USE, or the end user entities may try the free versions of MaheshaBSD and set up their own FTP/WWW server therein.
Should parts of the REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE - the binary assemblage of memory file system, author's scripts and author's documentation - not the operating system and the packages contained in the SOFTWARE - produce a similar software assemblage, the SOFTWARE must retain the above copyright notice and the author of the SOFTWARE must be informed about this. The packages contained in the SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server) have their own license conditions and these are independent of the REQUIRED DONATION SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server) license (that pertains to the author's scripts, documentation and to the memory file system assemblage contained in the SOFTWARE) and may be used separately under license conditions set forth by their developers. The license conditions of the packages in the SOFTWARE are not governed by the conditions of this REQUIRED DONATION LICENSE. Redistribution of the SOFTWARE (unaltered copies of MaheshaBSD Server) in the binary form, producing similar software from parts contained in the SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server) must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server), unless different conditions are set out with the author's approval. Should such new conditions arise, they must be agreed upon in writing by the author of the SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server) and the party that wishes to set out the new terms and conditions for the distribution/redistribution of the SOFTWARE (MaheshaBSD Server).
