License

aPLib is free for non-commercial use (if nobody charges money for products that use it). If you use aPLib in a product, an acknowledgement would be appreciated, e.g. by adding something like the following to the documentation:

    This product uses the aPLib compression library,
    Copyright © 1998-2005 by Jørgen Ibsen, All Rights Reserved.
    For more information, please visit: http://www.ibsensoftware.com/

Using aPLib in a commercial product requires registration -- please check www.ibsensoftware.com for more information.

The definition of a product that _uses_ aPLib is a product that contains any part of aPLib EXCEPT the decompression code. So you can sell a product that uses data compressed with aPLib without registering, but NOT a product that contains any part of the compression code.

You may not distribute aPLib without all of the files.

You may not edit or reverse engineer any of the files (except the header files and the decompression code, which you may edit as long as you do not remove the copyright notice).

You may not sell aPLib, or any part of it, for money (except for charging for the media).
