distribution and handling expenses. If distributed as part of a larger
collection (such as a CD collection) this will be interpreted in accordance
with the percentage of the collection VGADOC accounts for (if VGADOC is 50%
of the collection the price would certainly matter, if it is 0.5% I really
don't care what they charge). Also this collection (or part thereof) can be

or information purposes, and provided this file is included unmodified.

What you can't do:
  - Distribute modified versions or subsets under any name resembling VGADOC
    or WHATVGA, I.e. no VGADOC5, VGADOC4a, WHATVGA3 or similar. If you have
    enough new info to start your own collection please use another name!
  - Modify or omit this file (README.1ST) in any way.
  - Charge any fees, monies et cetera for this collection, except for normal
    connection, media, shipment, distribution and handling expenses.
