A word from Todd Hollenshead (CEO, id Software) - 5.27.1999
Redistribution of the test may occur through electronic means only (e.g., FTP download/mirrors). We are not allowing any physical media redistribution of the test whatsoever. This covers all CD redistribution, whether commercial or otherwise. To reiterate, it is a violation of the end user license agreement and copyright infringement to put the test on a magazine coverdisk, shareware compilation disk, or any other form of physical media.
The test is not a demo. A demo will be released at a later time which will be appropriate for coverdisks, etc.
Akkor most mi van? Az összes számítástechnikai lap mellékletén megjelent.
