In compiling this code, you have agreed to the following restrictions on any operating version of ROGUE 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 that it is based on ROGUE 2.4 Alpha, copyright 2000 - 2001 Kenneth Conley. The help files must include a ROGUE entry, readable by all players, and unaltered from the file included with the source code, except as authorized by the ROGUE 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 ROGUE consortium. 5) Before opening a ROGUE-based mud, you can send email to the author (scmud@mad.scientist.com), so that I can keep track of sites for future code releases. 6) As a coder, you have full rights to release your own derivatives of the ROGUE 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 ROGUE 2.4 code (just as ROGUE is itself a derivative of Gamma 0.0, Merc 2.1 code and ROM 2.4). 7) Anyone not wishing to follow terms of the ROGUE 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 ROGUE, ROM, Merc, and Diku. 7) Collaboration with known Diku, Merc, ROM, or ROGUE license violators on any ROGUE code project is strictly forbidden without written permission from the ROGUE consortium (Kenneth Conley). (In English, this means that Mendanbar is the only one allowed to release ROGUE source code, as apposed to ROGUE derived source code, and that you cannot call your mud ROGUE even though it uses ROGUE code. You also aren't allowed to deal with code thieves) If you have any questions about this license, please send email to scmud@mad.scientist.com.
