Contents of VENDOR.DOC included with the Shareware DOOM:
     NOTICE TO VENDORS:  IN ORDER TO COMMERCIALLY DISTRIBUTE OR IN 
ANY WAY DISTRIBUTE THIS PROGRAM, YOU MUST FIRST EXECUTE ID 
SOFTWARE, INC.'S VENDOR'S LICENSE.  YOU MAY OBTAIN A COPY OF THE
VENDOR'S LICENSE BY WRITING TO:  ID SOFTWARE, INC., 18601 LBJ
FRWY., SUITE 615, DALLAS, TEXAS 75150.   DO NOT CALL!


That's it.  So, if any vendor distributes the game without FIRST contacting
ID...they've broken the law, period.  In this way, ID can keep track of
who is legally and who is illegally distributing their game.  Downloading
from a ftp site or BBS doesn't apply because they aren't vendors, unless
the BBS charges fees for access.

IMHO, this was a REAL clever way of handling the situation...
