License notice

Includes Diku, Merc, God Wars and Dystopia notices. Included God Wars terms require express permission to run or distribute. Preserve all attribution, help text and applicable notification/noncommercial requirements. Licensing hold required; this review does not establish permission.

Compatibility and security warnings

Full Dystopia/God Wars-derived source/world snapshot, not a snippet. Contains connection/security/game/bug logs, staff-board content and shutdown output. Potential personal/runtime data must be disclosed; no runtime content reproduced in this report. Legacy threading, zlib and compiler assumptions. Source and scripts were not executed.

Original bytes and included notices are preserved. Not compiled, executed, boot-tested or comprehensively security-audited. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Archive validation is not malware clearance or redistribution approval.

Archive format

The original cotn4.tar is gzip-compressed despite its filename. Keep its original bytes and name. Use a gzip-aware archive reader. The filename is not proof of an official version number.

Compatibility

DikuMUD / Codebases; historical software; modern compatibility unverified.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.
