+BASS is free for non-commercial use. If you are a non-commercial entity
+(eg. an individual) and you are not making any money from your product
+(through sales/advertising/etc), then you can use BASS in it for free.
+If you wish to use BASS in commercial products, then please also see the
+next section.
+
+TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BASS IS PROVIDED
+"AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
+AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE AUTHORS SHALL NOT BE HELD
+LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF BASS. YOU USE
+BASS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
+
+Usage of BASS indicates that you agree to the above conditions.
+
+All trademarks and other registered names contained in the BASS
+package are the property of their respective owners.
+
+Commercial licensing
+--------------------
+BASS is available for use in your commercial products. The licence
+types available are as follows:
+
+SHAREWARE: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number of your
+shareware ("try before you buy") products, which must sell for no more
+than 40 Euros each. Non-shareware products are also permitted, but the
+product price limit is 10 Euros in that case. The price limit can be
+raised by purchasing duplicate licences, eg. 2 licences doubles it. If
+you are an individual (not a corporation) making and selling your own
+software, this is the licence for you. 
+
+SINGLE COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in one commercial product.
+
+UNLIMITED COMMERCIAL: Allows the usage of BASS in an unlimited number
+of your commercial products. This licence is on a per-site basis, eg.
+if you are creating products with BASS at 2 sites/locations, then 2
+licences are required.
+
+Please note the products must be end-user products, eg. not components
+used by other products. 
+
+These licences only cover your own software, not the publishing of
+other's software. If you publish other's software, its developers (or
+the software itself) will need to be licensed to use BASS.
+
+These licences are on a per-platform basis, with reductions available
+when licensing for multiple platforms. In all cases there are no royalties
+to pay, and you can use future BASS updates without further cost.
+
+These licences do not allow reselling/sublicensing of BASS. For example,
+if a product is a development system, the users of said product are not
+licensed to use BASS in their productions; they will need their own
+licences.
+
+If the standard licences do not meet your requirements, or if you have
+any questions, please get in touch (email: bass@un4seen.com).
