2. Description of produced material
-----------------------------------
a) winPenPack
winPenPack is an applications environment of Free Softwares, modified for being
run and used from an USB pendrive, without need of installation. It is a really
self-contained environment, within programs, .xml and config files, documents
are homogeneously integrated. Portable softwares included into winPenPack does
not need to be installed, does not write their settings into host PC, and can
be easily carried between multiple computers through any external device, as
removable hard disks or USB pendrives. Programs are subdivided in categories
and executable through a practical menu, analogue to Windows menu Start, the
winPenPack Launcher. winPenPack suites are available in the following editions:
Flash Essential, Flash 2Gb, Flash School, Flash Web and Flash Game.
b) X-Software
X-Softwares, distributed in .zip or .exe format or hosted by our or other
authorized mirrors, are created and developed by winPenPack Team. Each
X-Software is composed by a launcher, X-Launcher, that allow to modify,
as one likes, program startup options for let it portable, that runs an
existing not natively portable program, through an .ini configuration file.
X-Softwares, X-Launchers and .ini files created for portabilize programs
are exclusive work of winPenPack development Team, and constitute integrant
part of winPenPack.
c) winPenPack launcher
winPenPack Launcher is the menu for launching applications collected in
winPenPacks, created by winPenPack Team for the project.
d) Portable software
Portable Softwares are programs that are executed on host PC without
leaving tracks of their execution. Generally, they don't reside in our
site, but they are present as direct links to files hosted on the
developer/distributor site. These softwares are just identified and
indicated in related pages for a possible download.
e) Website and documentation
The winPenPack official domain is winpenpack.com with mirror on winpenpack.it,
winpenpack.org, winpenpack.info, winpenpack.eu and winpenpack.net. The project
is hosted also on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack). The
site hosts all winPenPacks, programs, source code, configuration files and all
documentation created by winPenPack development Team, collaborators, community
members.
f) Source code and development
You can contribute to the growth of the project by further developing winPenPack
components. The complete source code is available in the respective download pages.

7. Paternity attribution
------------------------
We believe that, for our work, performed day by day absolutely for free,
acknowledgement of work paternity is the necessary fulfillment for assure
its prosecution. For this reason we ask to anyone distributes winPenPack
or its components in unmodified form, and to the authors of derivative
works based on winPenPack, on winPenPack menu Launcher, on X-Softwares
or X-Launcher, to clearly referring to winPenPack project and to his
authors, adding always a link to winpenpack.com into source files and
documents included into software packs, and into web pages of site hosting
and distributing derivative works.
With these indications we don't intend to limit freedom and right to use
and modify our materials (we make source code available, with the purpose
of stimulate the development), but we wish that everyone collaborate for
respecting licenses and authors rights. For more details please read also
the additional notes about trademarks and copyright to point 8.
8. Copyright and trademarks infringement notice
-----------------------------------------------
Programs used to create related portable versions are programs released
only under open source licenses and are associated with X-Softwares generally
in decompressed mode (extracted zip archive or extracted setup) and not
modified form, hardly ever in a modified form.
Some images used in web site, in download section and in splash screens of
our portable softwares are original work of winPenPack Team, other images
are created by modifying pre-existing open source images, and others, always
released under open source licenses (GPL/LGPL, etc.. .) are downloaded from
sites awarding free licensed images (such as http://iconlet.com) and they
are used in unmodified form.
It is our purpose to do every effort in order to respect programs and images
licenses and trademarks rights. But, although our efforts, and because of
some factors beyond our control, could however be found some violation.
Regarding this point, if the author of an image, a software or any other
material used by winPenPack, detects a not allowed usage, or if considers
that its author rights, trademark or copyright have been violated, please
report it to the Development Team. We will make immediately the appropriate
adjustments.
