Firstly, I apologise for the length of this article; however, there
is much information contained herein and should require no follow-up.
The first section is a screen dump of the copyright screen at the
beginning of the program. Following that is text from the users'
manual explaining pricing and ordering information as well as some
of the copying constraints.

To minimise the number of disks for version 4, we had to
radically change the file formats. Otherwise the upgrade to Version 4
from version 3 would be as large as our present Version 4 package. Hence,
there is no upgrade package from version 3 to 4. For a limited time we
will upgrade Version 3.0 of the NIV to version 4.0.
The NIV requires a substantial royalty to be paid to the
publisher for each copy. You may NOT distribute the NIV. Zondervan has
lots of highly paid lawyers.
We are not a large company and this entire project was done
without thought for reward. Feel free to vary the suggested donation to
help defray our costs. Taxes apply to the suggested donation amount, not
to any excess. Our intention is to spread the use of computers as tools
in helping to understand God's Word. That's why we paid the royalty on
the UED editor for you. Hence, we allow anyone to distribute the AV
material and lexicon's without any consideration to us. All we ask is
that you do not modify the material we supply you. We have had several
complaints caused by well meaning individuals who ruined our installation
procedure. If you must change our material, please send us a copy before
you distribute it, so we can verify that it will still install and run
correctly. Failure to do so is a breach of the terms of the copyright.
