This comes up periodically but it has again become a question, issue
in our MUG.
We have a member, a board member, for sure, who, on his own
initiative but in the MUG's name, wrote to companies for review
copies of software.. He published excellent reviews in our
newsletter, but he has kept all the software. He feels he earned it
by virtue of writing the review.
He can use the software in his work and which he might not be able
to afford if he had to purchase.
In past years, in our MUG we would not let a reviewer keep a review
copy but, with the software company's O.K we would use the item for
a raffle prize. We would give the reviewer 5or 10 free raffle
tickets.
If we received software outright from a company for raffle , the
raffle winner had to sign an agreement to give us a review within x
number of months.
We are taking a new look at our policies.
How do you handle review copies in your clubs.
I will be interested in your thoughts.
