A lot of people have asked me, how much the shareware fee for Mercury UUCP
would be. It seems as if the file "README" which should be contained
in both binary and source distributions was truncated by obscure
circumstances. Here's the README again. Please include it in versions
of Mercury UUCP you intend to pass on to others.
Thank you.

Hello alltogether,
this file is about the status of Mercury UUCP.
Mercury UUCP is Shareware. Here come some rules what you are allowed to
to, what you are NOT allowed to do, and what you are expected to do.
You are allowed to
------------------
- Copy Mercury UUCP as many times as you want, pass it to others
and distribute it any way you want, PROVIDED THAT YOU DO NOT
CHANGE NEITHER THE FILE STRUCTURE OF THE ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION,
NOR ANY OF ITS FILES.
- Try out Mercury UUCP, test it for one or two weeks
- Use Mercury UUCP steadily, PROVIDED THAT YOU HAVE PAYED THE SHAREWARE FEE.
- Change the sourcecode, compile your own version of Mercury UUCP,
PROVIDED THAT YOU HAVE PAYED THE APPROPRIATE SHAREWARE-FEE and
THAT YOU CHANGE THE VERSION NAME AS DESCRIBED IN "release.src".
You are *NOT* allowed to
------------------------
- Gain money by distributing Mercury UUCP or selling it
- Change the sourcecode without marking it as changed
by updating the version name
The amount of the shareware-fee depends upon the way you use
Mercury UUCP, and who you are. Here's a scheme, showing
what you are expected to pay:
US-$ DM
------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial organizations
using source and binaries: 160 or 220
Commercial organizations
