PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY
The Shrinkwrap Visual Basic website was established as a service
to my fellow programmers. You are free to use the code
samples and algorithms on this site to help you write software -
even commercial software. You are also free to use the
controls and DLLs I have provided here and distribute them with
your applications with no royalties or other fees. However,
you need to remember that all the freeware samples and code on
this site is "as is" and I refuse to be held liable for
their use.
If you are thinking of adding these archives to
your website, CD-Rom/DVD, or other distribution medium - STOP!
The only legal place to obtain these samples and
controls is here. I would be happy to answer any questions
as to why this policy is in effect and/or listen to why I should
grant you special permission for an exception. Please
contact me here.
