In compiling this code, you have agreed to the following restrictions on
any operating version of GhostMud 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) following all guidelines in the ROM license (contained in the file
   rom.license)
4) The login message to your mud must contain a notice to this affect
   This code base is GhostMud 3.0 an offical rom 2.4 derivative.
   GhostMud is copyright 1999-2000 TAKA
   - further copyrighted 1999-2000 The Ghost Dancer MUD Project Team
   ROM is copyright 1993-1996 Russ Taylor.
5) The help files must include a GHOST entry, readable by all players, 
   and unaltered from the file included with the source code, except as 
   authorized by the GHOST authors.  The login screen means the screen 
   you see when you first connect, excepting one-line "Do you have color?" 
   messages, and the readable by all players means it must be viewable 
   by both new and old characters on a 24-line terminal with no scrollback.
   To make it more clear, you cannot put the credits on the top of
   a 24-line ascii graphic, as this would cause the credits to
   scroll off.  In any case, final decision on compliance/non-compliance
   with this requirement is left soley to the judgement of The Ghost
   Dancer MUD Project Team.
6) Before opening a GhostMud-based mud, you must send email to the author
   (a_ghost_dancer@excite.com), so that I can keep track of sites for
   future code releases.
7) Any use of the term Ghost Dancer remains the exclusive right of
   Taka and Cormac Mr. and Mrs. Werner Katemann, this includes the sole right 
   to release future versions of GhostMud source code, and the title Ghost or 
   Ghost Dancer and as pertains to a mud.  Names such as My Ghost, Some Ghost, 
   and YourAGhost are also forbidden.  Permission to use the name Ghost has been 
   granted to Phantom, the current GHOST 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 GhostMud 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 GHOST 3.0 code 
   (just as GhostMud is itself a derivative of ROM 2.4 code).  
8) Anyone not wishing to follow terms of the GhostMud license shall be obligated
   to delete all copies of this code in their possession.  This includes, but
   is not limited to, failure to display full credits for GhostMud, ROM, Merc, 
   and Diku.
9) Collaboration with known Diku, Merc, ROM, or GhostMud license violators on 
   any GhostMud code project is strictly forbidden without written permission 
   from The Ghost Dancer MUD Project Team (M. Katemann aka Taka, 
   Werner Katemann aka Cormac, Vincent van Koningsveld aka Vincent, Pyrox, 
   myndzi, Leesy Hebert aka Leesy, and Roxie Crawford aka Roxie).

(In English, this means that Taka is the only one allowed to release
GhostMud source code, as apposed to GhostMud derived source code, and that you
cannot call your mud Ghost, GhostMud or Ghost Dancer even though it uses GhostMud 
code.  You also aren't allowed to deal with code thieves)
