I seem to recall that the Doom Collector's Edition came with an updated (possibly more permissive?) user license. My Collector's Edition CD has long since succumbed to disc rot, though, and since I just ripped the IWADs straight off of the disc instead of installing the game normally, I don't have the license file on my computer either.

My old Registered Doom floppies don't seem to have any kind of licensing info on them, and I have the old LICENSE.DOC from my GT Interactive Doom 2 and Ultimate Doom CDs, but I'm still interested in seeing the newer version. After google failed me, I tried Id's website and Activision's support site, but with no luck. Searching the forums here brought up this post which seems to confirm my memories, but it's still not the whole thing.

So is there a copy of it floating around somewhere that I missed? Does anyone want to share it? Or do I have to buy the game again if I want to see the updated terms?

Here you go - the license from Registered Doom v1.1 . . .

LIMITED USE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Limited Use Software License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal
agreement between you, the end-user, and Id Software, Inc. ("ID"). By
continuing the installation of this game program, by loading or running the
game, or by placing or copying the game program onto your computer hard
drive, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you
do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, promptly return the game program
and the accompanying items (including all written materials), along with your
receipt to the place from where you obtained them for a full refund.

ID SOFTWARE LICENSE

1. Grant of License. ID grants to you the right to use one (1) copy
of the enclosed Id Software game program (the "Software") on a single
computer. For purposes of this section, "use" means loading the Software
into RAM, as well as installation on a hard disk or other storage device. You
may not: rent, lease, modify, translate, disassemble, decompile, reverse
engineer, or create derivative works based upon the Software.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may create a map editor, modify maps and
make your own maps (collectively referenced as the "Permitted Derivative
Works") for the Software. You may not sell or distribute any Permitted
Derivative Works but you may exchange the Permitted Derivative Works at no
charge amongst other end-users. The Software, together with any archive copy
thereof, shall be either returned to ID or destroyed when no longer used in
accordance with this Agreement, or when the right to use the Software is
terminated. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or
exported into any country in violation of the U.S. Export Administration Act
and that you will not utilize, in any other manner, the Software in violation
of any applicable law.

2. Copyright. The Software is owned by ID and is protected by United
States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. You must treat
the Software like any other copyrighted material, except that you may either
(a) make one copy of the Software solely for back-up or archival purposes, or
(b) transfer the Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the
original solely for back-up or archival purposes. You may not otherwise
reproduce, copy or disclose to others, in whole or in any part, the Software.
You may not copy the written materials accompanying the Software. You agree
to use your best efforts to see that any user of the Software licensed
hereunder complies with this Agreement.

3. Limited Warranty. ID warrants that if properly installed and
operated on a computer for which it is designed, the Software will perform
substantially in accordance with the accompanying written materials for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt. ID's entire liability
and your exclusive remedy shall be, at ID's option, either (a) return of the
price paid or (b) repair or replacement of the Software that does not meet
ID's Limited Warranty. To make a warranty claim, return the Software to the
point of purchase, accompanied by proof of purchase, your name, your address,
and a statement of defect, or return the Software with the above information
to ID. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted
in whole or in part from accident, abuse, misapplication or violation of this
Agreement. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of
the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. This
warranty allocates risks of product failure between Licensee and ID. ID's
product pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitations of
liability contained in this warranty.

4. NO OTHER WARRANTIES. ID DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE
SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES
YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHERS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION
TO JURISDICTION. ID DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL
BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR MEET LICENSEE'S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. THE
WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES WHETHER
ORAL OR WRITTEN. THE AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, DISTRIBUTORS, AND DEALERS OF ID ARE
NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THIS WARRANTY, OR ADDITIONAL
WARRANTIES ON BEHALF OF ID. ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS SUCH AS DEALER ADVERTISING
OR PRESENTATIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES BY
ID AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON.

5. Exclusive Remedies. You agree that your exclusive remedy against
ID, its affiliates, contractors, suppliers, and agents for loss or damage
caused by any defect or failure in the Software regardless of the form of
action, whether in contract, tort, including negligence, strict liability or
otherwise, shall be the return of the purchase price paid or replacement of
the Software. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Copyright and other proprietary
matters will be governed by United States laws and international treaties.
IN ANY CASE, ID SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST
SAVINGS, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR OTHER SIMILAR
DAMAGES ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE,
OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY EVEN IF ID OR ITS AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.

6. General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion
hereof shall be assigned, sublicensed or otherwise transferred by you.
Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid,
unenforceable or illegal by a court, the validity and enforceability of the
other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is
determined to be unenforceable, you agree to a modification of such provision
to provide for enforcement of the provision's intent, to the extent permitted
by applicable law. Failure of a party to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision
or of the right to enforce such provision. If you fail to comply with any
terms of this Agreement, YOUR LICENSE IS AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS AGREEMENT, AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY CONTINUING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
SOFTWARE, BY LOADING OR RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, OR BY PLACING OR COPYING THE
SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR COMPUTER HARD DRIVE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS
AGREEMENT'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR WRITTEN
SEPARATE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN ID AND YOU, THIS AGREEMENT IS A COMPLETE AND
EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES. THIS
AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS, PROPOSALS OR UNDERSTANDINGS,
AND ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ID AND YOU RELATING TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

. . . and the Activision license from 2004

• Remove, disable or circumvent any proprietary notices or labels contained on or within the Program.
• Export or re-export the Program or any copy or adaptation thereof in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

OWNERSHIP: All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the Program and any and all copies thereof are owned by Activision or its licensors. The Program is protected by the copyright laws of the United States, international copyright treaties and conventions and other laws. The Program contains certain licensed materials and Activision's licensors may protect their rights in the event of any violation of this Agreement. You agree not to remove, disable or circumvent any proprietary notices or labels contained on or within the Program.

LIMITED WARRANTY: Activision warrants to the original consumer purchaser of the Program that the recording medium on which the Program is recorded will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase. If the recording medium is found defective within 90 days of original purchase, Activision agrees to replace, free of charge, any product discovered to be defective within such period upon its receipt of the Product, postage paid, with proof of the date of purchase, as long as the Program is still being manufactured by Activision. In the event that the Program is no longer available, Activision retains the right to substitute a similar program of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the recording medium containing the Program as originally provided by Activision and is not applicable to normal wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable and shall be void if the defect has arisen through abuse, mistreatment, or neglect. Any implied warranties prescribed by statute are expressly limited to the 90-day period described above.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND SHALL BE BINDING ON OR OBLIGATE ACTIVISION.

ACTIVISION'S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PRICE PAID FOR THE LICENSE TO USE THIS PROGRAM.

The Contractor/Manufacturer is Activision, Inc., 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405.

It may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement shall be construed under California law as such law is applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed within California, except as governed by federal law and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Los Angeles, California.

If you have any questions concerning this license, you may contact Activision at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405, USA, (310) 255-2000, Attn. Business and Legal Affairs, legal@activision.com.

Cool, thanks! The second license doesn't quite seem to be the one I remember, but I assume that's either because my memory is useless, or because of localization differences. Probably the former. :)

Good old Activision EULA, aka the Heretic/Hexen source license for a good while there.

Totally inappropriate license to have on any product whose source code is open. You may not reverse engineer or derive source code? It's a GPL game engine, fucktards. Can't copy it to a hard drive??? This is roflicious. DOOM itself has always preferred to run from a hard drive (-cdrom mode is slow as hell when it has to load sounds).

Makes me wanna go bust up Bobby Kotick.

My copy of the Collector's Edition doesn't come with that Activision license GreyGhost posted. I doubt any DOOM releases used that, so I'm not sure why he posted it. The installer in the CD I have includes this one:

code:
LIMITED USE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT This Limited Use Software License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement between you, the end-user, and Id Software, Inc. ("ID") and Activision, Inc. ("Activision"). BY CONTINUING THE INSTALLATION OF THE FULL VERSION GAME PROGRAM ENTITLED DOOM COLLECTOR'S EDITION (THE "SOFTWARE"), BY LOADING OR RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, OR BY PLACING OR COPYING THE SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR COMPUTER HARD DRIVE, COMPUTER RAM OR OTHER STORAGE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 1. Grant of License for Software. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and so long as you fully comply at all times with this Agreement, ID grants to you the non-exclusive and limited right to use the Software in executable or object code form. The term "Software" includes all elements of the Software such as data files, images appearing in the Software, and screen displays. You are not receiving any ownership or proprietary right, title or interest in or to the Software or the copyrights, trademarks, or other rights related thereto. For purposes of the first sentence of this section, "use" means loading the Software into RAM and/or onto computer hard drive, as well as installation of the Software on a hard disk or other storage device, and means the uses permitted in sections 2. and 4. hereinbelow. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country in violation of the U.S. Export Administration Act (or any other law governing such matters) by you or any one at your direction and that you will not utilize and will not authorize anyone to utilize, in any other manner, the Software in violation of any applicable law. The Software shall not be exported or re-exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods or to anyone or into any country who/which are prohibited, by applicable law, from receiving such property. 2. Permitted New Creations. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and so long as you fully comply at all times with this Agreement, ID grants to you the non-exclusive and limited right to create for the Software (except any Software code) your own modifications (the "New Creations") which shall operate only with the Software (but not any demo, test or other version of the Software). ID reserves all rights not granted in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights to ID's trademarks. You may include within the New Creations certain textures and other images (the "ID Images") from the Software. You shall not create any New Creations which infringe against any third party right or which are libelous, defamatory, obscene, false, misleading, or otherwise illegal or unlawful. You agree that the New Creations will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country in violation of the U.S. Export Administration Act (or any other law governing such matters) by you or anyone at your direction and that you will not utilize and will not authorize anyone to utilize, in any other manner, the New Creations in violation of any applicable law. The New Creations shall not be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods or to anyone or into any country who/which are prohibited, by applicable law, from receiving such property. You shall not rent, sell, lease, lend, offer on a pay-per-play basis or otherwise commercially exploit or commercially distribute the New Creations. You are only permitted to distribute, without any cost or charge, the New Creations to other end-users so long as such distribution is not infringing against any third party right and is not otherwise illegal or unlawful. As noted below, in the event you commit any breach of this Agreement, your license and this Agreement shall automatically terminate, without notice. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ID and Activision and ID's and Activision's respective officers, employees, directors, agents, licensees (excluding you), sub-licensees (excluding you), successors and assigns from and against all losses, lawsuits, damages, causes of action and claims relating to and/or arising from the New Creations or the distribution or other use of the New Creations or relating to and/or arising from your breach of this Agreement. Your obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement. 3. Prohibitions with Regard to Software. You, whether directly or indirectly, shall not do any of the following acts: a. rent the Software; b. sell the Software; c. lease or lend the Software; d. offer the Software on a pay-per-play basis; e. distribute the Software by any means, including, but not limited to, Internet or other electronic distribution, direct mail, retail, mail order or other means; f. in any other manner and through any medium whatsoever commercially exploit the Software or use the Software for any commercial purpose; g. disassemble, reverse engineer, decompile, modify (except as permitted by section 2. hereinabove) or alter the Software; h. translate the Software; i. reproduce or copy the Software (except as permitted by section 4. hereinbelow); j. publicly display the Software; or k. prepare or develop derivative works based upon the Software. 4. Permitted Copying. You may make only the following copies of the Software: (i) you may copy the Software from the CD ROM which you purchase onto your computer hard drive; (ii) you may copy the Software from your computer hard drive into your computer RAM; and (iii) you may make one (1) "back up" or archival copy of the Software on one (1) hard disk. 5. Intellectual Property Rights. Certain printed materials (the "Printed Materials") accompany the Software. The Software and the Printed Materials and all copyrights, trademarks and all other conceivable intellectual property rights related to the Software and the Printed Materials are owned by ID and are protected by United States copyright laws, international treaty provisions and all applicable law, such as the Lanham Act. You must treat the Software and the Printed Materials like any other copyrighted material, as required by 17 U.S.C., §101 et seq. and other applicable law. You agree to use your best efforts to see that any user of the Software licensed hereunder, the Printed Materials or the New Creations complies with this Agreement. You agree that you are receiving a copy of the Software and the Printed Materials by license only and not by sale and that the "first sale" doctrine of 17 U.S.C. §109 does not apply to your receipt or use of the Software or the Printed Materials. This section 5. shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement. 6. No ID Warranties. ID DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, THE PRINTED MATERIALS AND THE ID IMAGES. ID DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES BY ID AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. This section 6. shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement. 7. Limited Activision Warranty. Activision warrants to the original consumer purchaser of the Software that the recording medium on which the Software is recorded will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase. If the recording medium is found defective within 90 days of original purchase, Activision agrees to replace, free of charge, any Software discovered to be defective within such period upon its receipt of the Software, postage paid, with the proof of the date of purchase, as long as the Software is still being manufactured by Activision. In the event that the Software is no longer available, Activision retains the right to substitute a similar game program of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the recording medium containing the Software as originally provided by Activision and is not applicable to normal wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable and shall be void if the defect has arisen through abuse, mistreatment or neglect. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT, AND NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND SHALL BE BINDING ON OR OBLIGATE ACTIVISION.

Except as set forth below, exclusive venue for all litigation regarding this Agreement shall be in Dallas County, Texas and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in Dallas, Texas for any such litigation.

General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion hereof shall be assigned or sublicensed by you. ID and Activision each may assign its respective rights under this Agreement in the assigning party's sole discretion. Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to a modification of such provision to provide for enforcement of the provision's intent, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Failure of ID or Activision to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision.

I can only assume (as Mithran Denizen suggested) that it's "localization differences", but that is in deed a copy/paste of the license from an Australian produced 2004 release of the Collector's Edition.

Ah, I see, perhaps Activision had full commercialization rights in Australia, while they had to go with a license agreed with id for distribution from the US (which is where my copy came from, through Amazon).

I've seen the same boilerplate license conditions on other Activision re-releases, though some (like Civilization: Call to Power) include additional clauses for "New Game Materials" created by players. Their omission from the Collector's Edition might well be an oversight, as was the failure to proofread another license where the list of stuff you shouldn't do is preceded by the line "You agree to:". :D

The Activision EULA is no longer relevant anyway because, guess what, Activision no longer has any right to Id's stuff thanks to ZeniMax Media.

Probably the same people who read instruction manuals before playing - no spirit of adventure.

Clearly Raven didn't when they released the Heretic/Hexen code (initially).

Are you sure that's right?
