The Nightmare Mudlib
version 3.3
for MudOS v20.23
The Nightmare mudlib is the result of great collaboration originating way
back to the original LPMud mudlibs. The creators of the Nightmare mudlib
used the TMI mudlib 0.8.11 as their basic coding environment while creating
the mudlib, and thus some code from that mudlib is still quite present in
the Nightmare Mudlib.
This document serves as the liscensing agreement between those credited
in the credits document and any user of the Nightmare Mudlib 3.3, in
whole or in part. Use of the Nightmare Mudlib 3.3 is considered consent to
the terms contained in this document. There are 2 terms:
1) The Nightmare mudlib 3.3, neither in whole nor in part, may ever be
used for profit. Access to any mud making use of the Nightmare mudlib
may only be restricted based on security reasons or reasons of network
limitations. Specifically, access may not be restricted in order to
charge access tolls.
2) This document must be retained with any copy of Nightmare mudlib 3.3
in the /doc/mudlib directory with the mudlib credits.
A note about the above:
This does not mean you can't banish people from your mud! It just
means you cannot go restricting access in such a way that requires people
to do things like pay!
A note about local modifications:
Use your own best judgment of what is fair with respect to
modifying the MUDLIB NAME. Changing the base world is not changing
the mudlib. At the same rate, we do not expect people who take a few
files to incorporate into their mudlib to retain the mudlib name (although
headers should remain). In between probably should mention something
like "Nightmare 3.3 version <insert name>" if it is more Nightmare than
local, or "<insert name> Mudlib based on Nightmare 3.3" otherwise. But
we are not anal about this, we just request you be fair.
Examples:
straight mudlib: display as "Nightmare Mudlib 3.3"
straight mudlib with a different town: display as "Nightmare Mudlib 3.3"
minor mudlib changes: "Nightmare Mudlib 3.3 version Foomud 1.0"
heavily changed mudlib: "Foomud 1.0-Nightmare 3.3 Mudlib"
fundamentally changed mudlib: "Foomud Mudlib 1.0, based on Nightmare
Mudlib 3.3"
you just borrowed a few files: "Foomud Mudlib 1.0"
