jDES is the exclusive, proprietary, intellectual property of Sharkysoft (sharkysoft.com).  jDES is shareware, not freeware.  If you use jDES for more than 14 days, you must purchase a license.  Information about jDES, including registration instructions, can be found on the jDES web site at

	http://sharkysoft.com/software/java/jdes/

jDES is distributed under three licenses. When you downloaded and/or paid for a license, you agreed to one of the following licenses:

end user binary license

	All end users of software that requires the jDES binary distribution in order to run properly are permitted to store one copy of the jDES binary distribution on their computers for the purposes of executing, but not compiling, such programs that rely on jDES files. There is no fee for this license.

developer binary license

	One jDES developer binary license is required for each machine on which software that uses jDES APIs is compiled and/or linked. Licensees are also permitted to integrate the jDES binary distribution into their own commercial software products and distribute such products, royalty free, to their end users. However, end users of such derivative products will not be licensed to compile additional software that uses, either directly or indirectly, the jDES APIs.

developer source license

	One jDES developer source license carries with it all of the rights and privileges of one developer binary license, and also entitles the source licensee to download a copy of the jDES source code. However, the source licensee must agree to protect the jDES source as a Sharkysoft trade secret and may not reveal the source code to any person not covered by a developer binary or developer source license.

All persons, licensed or not, are free to distribute the original, unmodified jDES binary distribution (not the source or documentation) as shareware.  If you distribute jDES binary distribution, you must identify Sharkysoft as its creator and remind the users that they are bound by Sharkysoft's shareware licensing terms, including the obligation to purchase a license if they use it beyond the normal evaluation period.  Within these constraints, you may distribute the jDES binary distribution using any medium.

If you have purchased a source license, you are free to download and view the source code as supplementary product documentation, but you may not redistribute it, expose it to unlicensed persons, or use it for any other purpose without written consent from Sharkysoft.  Source licenses are non-transferable.

If you have a source code license, you are permitted to modify and recompile the source code, but you cannot remove the copyright notice.
