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

1) following all guidelines in the diku license (contained in the file 
   license.doc)
2) following all guidelines in the Merc license (contained in the file
   license.txt)
3) The login message to your mud must contain a notice that it is based
   on ROM code. Including Russ Taylor or Alander in the message, or in 
   other credits, is optional
4) Before opening a ROM-based mud, you must send email to the author
   (rtaylor@cie-2.uoregon.edu), so that I can keep track of sites for
   future code releases.
5) Any use of the term Rivers of Mud remains the exclusive copyright of
   Russ Taylor, this includes the sole right to release future versions 
   of ROM source code, and the title Rivers of Mud as pertains to a mud.
   Permission to use the name Rivers of Mud has been granted to Zump,
   the current ROM implementer, his mud will remain the only one with
   that privilige.  As a coder, you have full rights to release your own
   derivatives of the ROM code, provided they follow the restrictions of
   this license, contain all appropriate README and credits files, and are
   properly labelled as being derivatives of the ROM 2.3 code (just as ROM
   is itself a derivative of Gamma 0.0 and Merc 2.1 code).  

(In English, this means that Alander is the only one allowed to release
ROM source code, as apposed to ROM derived source code, and that you
cannot call your mud ROM even though it uses ROM code)

If you have any questions about this license, please send email to
rtaylor@cie-2.uoregon.edu.
