BTP is available free for your personal research and instructional use under the 'fair use' provisions of the copyright law. You may, however, redistribute BTP in whole or in part provided you acknowledge its source and author, Ian Kaplan. You must also include this copyright notice (copyright file) in your distribution.

You may not sell BTP or any product derived from it in which it is a significant part of the value of the product.

Any use where others stand to make a profit from what is primarily my work, requires a license agreement. This includes corporate structures like Red Hat that distribute software free on the Internet but charge a fee for a CD-ROM and/or for support. Per-copy and unlimited use licenses are available; for more information, contact Ian Kaplan, iank@bearcave.com.
