'''Easyflow''' was one of the first diagramming and [[flow chart]]ing software packages available for personal computers. It was produced by HavenTree Software Limited of [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]], [[Ontario]] [[Canada]]. HavenTree's mark on history for its product, which was subsequently renamed '''Interactive Easyflow''', is its notable plain-English license.<ref name=TakingLicense.IW>{{cite magazine |magazine=[[Informationweek]]

{{quotation|This is where the bloodthirsty licensing agreement is supposed to go, explaining that Interactive Easyflow is a copyrighted package licensed for use by a single person, and sternly warning you not to pirate copies of it and explaining, in detail, the gory consequences if you do.
We know that you are an honest person, and are not going to go around pirating copies of Interactive Easyflow; this is just as well with us since we worked hard to perfect it and selling copies of it is our only method of making anything out of all the hard work. For your convenience EasyFlow is distributed on a on copy-protected diskette and you are free to do what you want with it (make backups, move from machine to machine, etc.) provided that it is never in use by more than one person at a time.
If, on the other hand, you are one of those few people who do go around pirating copies of software you probably aren't going to pay much attention to a license agreement, bloodthirsty or not. Just keep your doors locked and look out for the HavenTree attack shark.}}
