How to license NNTPCACHE for your commercial / government / site
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
0. If you are upgrading from an old nntpcache license then the
|
|
upgrade fee is n/3, where n is the number of years since
|
|
your last license. So during the first year
|
|
upgrades are free, during the second year 1/3 the cost, etc.
|
|
|
|
1. Work out how many users your site has. You will probably
|
|
want to artificially increase this number if you expect
|
|
it to grow in the future so you don't unintentionally
|
|
break the license conditions. This figure is the actual
|
|
number of users site-wide (e.g wc /etc/passwd or ypcat
|
|
passwd|wc), NOT the number of concurrent NNTPCache users.
|
|
|
|
Don't worry, it is presumed that only a minority of
|
|
network users use news regularly. The figures reflect
|
|
this expectation. What we're trying to work out is the
|
|
approximate size of the network user base.
|
|
|
|
We calculate the license size in this fashion because
|
|
other models would dramatically increase compliance costs
|
|
or prevent interesting network topologies.
|
|
Organisations usually know (or can easily work out),
|
|
the number of network users they have, but introducing
|
|
a user accounting system for just for news would be
|
|
be odious as would limiting the number or configuration
|
|
of servers.
|
|
|
|
You can run as many NNTPCache machines as you want. In
|
|
*any* network configuration you want. If NNTPCache was
|
|
licensed on a per-machine or concurrent user basis, then
|
|
this would be impossible.
|
|
|
|
2. Choose the appropriate site license for your site:
|
|
|
|
TYPE $US $AUS*
|
|
|
|
Single user $10 $15
|
|
Under 10 users $50 $70
|
|
Under 100 users $120 $190
|
|
Under 500 users $300 $450
|
|
Under 1000 users $500 $750
|
|
Under 5000 users $1500 $2272
|
|
Under 10000 users $3000 $4545
|
|
Over 10000 users negotiable+ negotiable+
|
|
|
|
* Note than you can only pay in Australian dollars if your organisation
|
|
is headquartered in Australia or New-Zealand.
|
|
|
|
+ If no fee is mutally negotiated, then the fee shall be $3000 USD per
|
|
ten thousand users.
|
|
|
|
3. Make your payment as follows:
|
|
|
|
i) Fill out the following and send it off (see iii)
|
|
|
|

|

|

Australian National Cognitive Facility

|
|
|
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT INTERNATIONAL CHEQUES, UNLESS

|
banking fees and paperwork are unbelievable.
|
|
|

Please tell us what part of the world you are
|
|

is usually the least painful method if you have
|
|
access to a modern banking system.
