are Trademarks of Locatha Industries, Incorporated. All other trademarks
are the property of their respective owners. Their use in this document
does not constitute an attempt by Locatha Industries, Inc. to claim those
Trademarks or specifically endorse them.
Although this document expressly defines D.D.O. F/X, it does not in any
way diminish the right of ownership of D.D.O. F/X by Locatha Industries
Incorporated. Locatha Industries Incorporated alone reserves the right to
license and approve the use of D.D.O. F/X to any entity, whether it be for
Private, Commercial, or Industrial use. We also reserve the right to
prohibit the use of D.D.O. F/X to any entity for any reason we see fit.
If you intend to add D.D.O. F/X support to any product for any purpose, you
must first agree to the terms of the licensing agreement listed below.
DISCLAIMER
USE OF THE D.D.O. F/X LANGUAGE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSING
AGREEMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LICENSE WHICH
DESCRIBES THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND LIMITED WARRANTY EXPRESSLY AND
PRECISELY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS SET BELOW YOU SHOULD
DISCONTINUE USE OF THE D.D.O. F/X LANGUAGE. DO NOT! USE THE D.D.O. F/X
LANGUAGE UNLESS YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSING

LICENSE
Conditions:
This license governs two distinct and separate Levels of using
D.D.O. F/X: (APPLICATION LEVEL and DEVELOPER LEVEL).
APPLICATION LEVEL: Application level uses of D.D.O. F/X include the
following:
. A program capable of transmitting D.D.O. F/X script commands
electronically via any existing device to LITERM-F/X, and
in addition has the capability of receiving and understanding
any return transmissions which result from above mentioned
script commands. An Application Level Program is NOT an
interpreter of D.D.O. F/X. It is capable only of transmitting
D.D.O. F/X commands and receiving data back from those
commands and understanding how to process what is produced
as a transmission from the sending of those commands. Any
interpretation of D.D.O. F/X commands directly by a D.D.O. F/X
Application Level program would be in violation of this
license agreement.
. A BBS (Bulletin Board System) would be an example of an Application
Level program. Following the description above.
. A BBS Door (program executed as a child process of a BBS) would be
an example of an Application Level Program. Following the description
above.
DEVELOPER LEVEL: Developer level uses of D.D.O. F/X include the
following:
. A program capable of interpreting D.D.O. F/X script commands
directly and performing some function based on those D.D.O. F/X
script commands. If a program has the ability to accept a
D.D.O. F/X command by any means and perform an action based on
that command it must adhere to this License Agreement and thus
be identified as a Developer Level program.
. A TERMINAL PROGRAM (Fulfilling a similar Roll as LITERM-F/X) would
be an example of a Developer Level program. Following the description
above.
. A Designer program (Such as a Painting program, or Layout program)
would be an example of a Developer Level program. Following the
description above.
If you believe your program to be in doubt as to which LEVEL it falls
under, you may contact the offices of Locatha Industries, Inc. and we
would be more than happy to clarify it for you.
APPLICATION LEVEL: If your program falls within the Application Level
of this License agreement you are not required to register your product
and your company as a developer for Locatha Industries Inc. You are free
to take Full advantage (Royalty free) of the D.D.O. F/X language so long
as your product does not conflict with Application Level requirements.
Your are granted the limited right to advertise your product as a D.D.O. F/X
compliant product. However, you may not make any claims to ownership of
the D.D.O. F/X Trademark. Within the Identification portions of your
programs documentation, Locatha Industries Incorporated MUST be giving
proper identification as the sole owner of the D.D.O. F/X trademark
and all rights reserved. Failure to include the Copyright notice of
D.D.O. F/X within your programs documentation will render your program
in violation of this License Agreement. Below is what should be included
within your programs Documentation.
