Whatever the law says, so it applies here. Note that the changes to the original Dead Souls release of 1998 are copyrighted by me, Bill Sanchez, and are NOT GPL. Understanding what that means and due compliance with applicable laws is left as an exercise to the reader. MudOS/FluffOS is being packaged with the lib pursuant to standard LPmud practice. Please note that MudOS and FluffOS are copyrighted, and should we be asked to stop distributing them by their respective copyright holders, we will be obligated to do so. For explicit details on Dead Souls and MudOS bundled distribution, please see: http://dead-souls.net/articles/copyright.html#3 A few details, for the license fetishists: * It's ok to run a mud with this. Modify it as you wish, and do what people normally associate with "running a mud." You can change anything about the lib after you download it. It's your mud game. I don't care what you do with it. But you're encouraged to share your work with me. * If you need to do something like forking development and distributing your own DS-based lib, you should use the Public Domain version, not this version. For info, see: http://dead-souls.net/ds-II-faq.html * I expect this to be enough information so you know what you can and can't do lawfully with this software. I can't stand licensing discussion, and will not enter into a debate with you about what copyright means. I will not answer any further questions on the subject. This document is the final word on the matter. If in doubt, refer to your local laws and regulations concerning intellectual property. - Bill Sanchez aka Cratylus @ Dead Souls, aka Cratylus @ Frontiers November 2007
