God Wars Generic license
17th August 2001

There are several different GodWars licenses.  However this license sums
up the original requirements, and may therefore be used in place of any
previous God Wars license.  Additional licenses applied to God Wars
derivatives by those other than myself are outside the scope of this
license.
