Remote Office will be available with current license agreement and full
source code form only until end of February. Starting from March 1st 2004,
Remote Office will change its licensing and pricing terms.

Everyone who orders Remote Office source code before March 1st 2004, will
keep the current License Agreement, allowing them to integrate Remote Office
into their applications and redistribute Remote Office tools in executable
form, without paying any royalties. The only thing you are not allowed is
sell or give away Remote Office source code (or parts of it).

After March 1st 2004, licensing terms and pricing for Remote Office will
change. First, there will be the possibility for commercial licensing (using
Remote Office in executable form ony), Remote Office component licensing
(getting parts of Remote Office in source code form, to be able to integrate
Remote Office with your applications and use with commercial executables)
and partnering with the new copyright owner (which gives you the chance to
continue receiving full Remote Office source code updates). Pricing will be
defined by the licensing term you choose.

Remote Office forum will remain open for a longer time period and I will
continue giving support to all licensed users (regardless of the license
they posses). This is free support for all licensed users and includes help
with source code usage and bugfixing. So, if you find a bug, post it to
Remote Office forum and I will get on fixing it.

All licensed Remote Office who place the order before March 1st 2004, will
be able to renew their license agreement after March 1st. But, there will
probably be users who won't want to renew their license, keeping the old
license agreement. Users who do not wish to renew their license agreement
with new copyright owner, will keep their current license agreement and
continue having support on the Remote Office forum (as before) and have
access to Remote Office bug-fixes, but not to source code enhancements.

New licensing terms, for users who wish to renew their agreement with the
new copyright owner, will be announced before the end of March. Until then,
everything stays as before.

Best Regards,
Danijel Tkalcec
