Hello Kent,
thank you for your reply, however non-commercial use generally means not free for use in profit making (commercial) companies (which is just about every company).
To give you an example:
If sales people are USING KMPlayer in a profit organization to show DVD's of their latest clothing collection to customers with the intention to sell the clothing for profit, this is commercial use.
If i understand correctly, you basically want profit (commercial) companies to be able to use KMPlayer, what you don't want is a profit organization to sell the KMPlayer software to consumers or other companies for money or for the KMPlayer package to be modified.
The old license agreement already covers all that.
You could also change the license to something like the following:
This SOFTWARE is free for personal or commercial use. When you obtain a copy of the SOFTWARE, you are granted an unlimited usage period.
You may not rent, lease, sub-license, transfer, or sell the SOFTWARE. You agree not to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the SOFTWARE. You may not alter or modify the installer program or create a new installer for the SOFTWARE.
(got this from doPDF, a freeware application that is free for both personal or commercial use)
We changed license part, which is ruudboek recommended.
Please translation this License Agreement in each language
to distribute with setup program.
