                      MAJORDOMO LICENSE AGREEMENT


                             Version 1.1
                              18 May 96

Great Circle Associates (GCA) is the original developer of Majordomo,
a package for managing Internet mailing lists.  Since its initial
release, many organizations and individuals have contributed
enhancements and fixes, but the original copyright has been retained
by Great Circle Associates.

Majordomo is distributed in source code form, with almost all
modules written in Perl (there is one small C program), and runs
on many UNIX platforms.  Majordomo is not a supported product of
Great Circle Associates, but is made available for use on the following
basis.

GCA grants you a license as follows to the Majordomo package:

     1.  LICENSE.  GCA grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable
license for the Majordomo package ("Majordomo") and its associated
documentation, subject to all of the following terms and conditions.
In accepting a copy of Majordomo you agree to the following terms
and conditions.

     This license permits you to use, copy, and modify Majordomo
solely for your organization's use.

     2.    LIMITATIONS ON LICENSE.

           a.    You may only use, copy, and modify Majordomo
                 as expressly provided for in this Agreement.
                 You must reproduce and include this Agreement, and
                 GCA's  copyright notices on any copy and its
                 associated documentation.

           b.    No part of Majordomo may be incorporated into any
                 program or other product that is sold, or for which any
                 revenue is received without written permission of
                 Great Circle Associates, with the following exceptions:
 
                     You may install Majordomo at your site and run
                     mailing lists for other using it, and charge for
                     that service.
      
                     You may install Majordomo at other sites, and
                     charge for your time to install, configure,
                     customize, and manage it.
      
                     You may charge for enhancements you've made to
                     the Majordomo software, subject to the distribution
                     restrictions listed below.
  
                 You may not charge for the Majordomo software
                 itself.
 
                 A commercial license will be required in all other cases.

           c.    If Majordomo is being provided or configured for a
                 customer, the provider must clearly state in
                 documentation and bid/proposal materials that the
                 Majordomo technologies are licensed and provided
                 by Great Circle Associates, and a copy of this
                 license must be included with the configured
                 system.

           d.    Majordomo, if modified, must carry prominent notices
                 stating that changes have been made, and the dates of
                 any such changes.

                 You may publicly distribute an unmodified and
                 complete version of Majordomo, for instance as
                 part of a collection of free software packages,
                 but you must distribute the whole package, and
                 you must tell people where they can obtain the
                 latest version:
                     ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo/

                 You may not publicly distribute a modified or
                 incomplete version of Majordomo.  You may make
                 such a version available to your own clients,
                 subject to the restrictions below, but not to the
                 general public (for instance, by placing it on an
                 anonymous FTP site).

                 You may not distribute (publicly or privately) a modified
                 version of Majordomo without clearly identifying it as such
                 (by changing the version string in majordomo_version.pl),
                 identifying the changes (through appropriate README
                 documentation and/or comments in the code),
                 identifying who will be responsible for supporting
                 the modified version, and informing people receiving
                 the modified version where they can find an
                 unmodified version:
                     ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo/

           e.    All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to GCA.

     3.  NO GCA OBLIGATION: You are solely responsible for maintaining
your copy of Majordomo and the security of the operating environment in
which Majordomo may be used.  You are solely responsible for all of your
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Majordomo
or any Application Program hereunder, and GCA shall have no liability,
obligation or responsibility therefor. GCA shall have no obligation to
provide maintenance, support, upgrades, or new releases to you.

     4.  NO WARRANTY OF PERFORMANCE.  Majordomo and its associated
documentation are licensed "as is" without warranty as to their
performance, merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose.
The entire risk as to the results and performance of Majordomo is
assumed by you.  Should Majordomo prove defective, you assume the
entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.

     5.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Neither GCA nor any other
person who has been involved in the creation, production or delivery
of Majordomo shall be liable to you or to any other person for any
direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive
damages, even if GCA has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.

     6.  TERM.  The license granted hereunder is effective until
terminated.  This license shall automatically terminate without notice
if you breach any of the provisions hereof.  You may terminate it at
any time by destroying Majordomo and its associated documentation.
