EmberMUD v0.9.46+ License
-------------------------
Revised: 07/14/98
Revised: 04/09/02

In compiling this code, you have agreed to the following restrictions on
any operating version of EmberMUD code:

1) You will follow all guidelines in the Diku license (contained in the
   file old/license.diku)
2) You will follow all guidelines in the Merc license (contained in the
   file old/license.merc)
3) You will follow all guidelines in the ROM license (contained in the
   file old/license.rom)
4) The login/greeting message for your mud must contain a notice that it
   is based on EmberMUD code.  Optionally, you may also include the names
   Zak, Zane, Thexder, Kyle, Lancelight, and/or Dorzak there or in other 
   credits.
5) help ember and help embermud cannot be altered, and must always display
   the help text shipped with the mud.
6) You will attempt to contact Zak of the EmberMUD coding team (e-mail
   address and web page are listed at the end of this document) before
   you open your MUD and notify him of your name and email address (or
   other contact information).  Including the address of your MUD is 
   optional (although we'd love to see what you're doing with our code!)

EmberMUD is a modified form of the ROM 2.3 mud code.  These modifications,
in total, are copyright 2002 by Kevin Williams.  Many of the individual 
modifications have been written by other contributors to the MUD 
community (too many names to mention here - however they have been 
thanked in the Changelog and in the code itself where possible).

The name EmberMUD remains the exclusive copyright of Kevin Williams (Zak).
This includes the sole right to release future versions of EmberMUD source
code, and the title EmberMUD as pertains to a mud.  As a coder, you have
full rights to release your own derivatives of the EmberMUD code, provided
they follow the restrictions of this license, contain all README and license
files included in the base EmberMUD distribution you are using, and are
properly labelled as being derivatives of the EmberMUD code (just as
EmberMUD is a derivative of ROM 2.3 code and Merc 2.1 code).

If you do not follow these license terms, we will ask you to comply.  If that
doesn't work, then we will talk to your system administrators (not about your
running a mud, but on the grounds that you're using our copyrighted software
without permission).

These are very generous terms for any software.  If you don't want to accept
them, feel free to run some other software, or write your own.

If you have any questions about this license, please send email to a member
of our development team.  The contact information is as follows:

Kevin Williams  - Zak     - zak@embermud.org
Ej Wilburn      - Zane    - zane@embermud.org
Nathan Cookson  - Dorzak  - dorzak@embermud.org

Also, you may wish to contact Russ Taylor, author of the ROM code that
EmberMUD is based on.  His email address is: rtaylor@cie-2.uoregon.edu.
