Cleaned ROM 2.4b6 - Historical Codebase

About this resource

Historical cleaned ROM 2.4b6 source distribution with world data, build configuration and original documentation. This is a modified historical distribution rather than the unmodified stock release.

Credits
ROM: Russ Taylor (Alander), Gabrielle Taylor, Brian Moore and the contributors listed in rom.credits. Merc: Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD: Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve all original source, world and individual contributor notices. The cleanup maintainer is not established in the inspected documentation; do not attribute these changes to the MudBytes Team without further evidence.

License warning
The included DikuMUD, Merc and ROM licenses are layered, not an unrestricted-use grant. Preserve doc/license.doc, doc/license.txt, doc/rom.license, doc/rom.credits and all README documents unchanged. Conditions include copyright and license retention, required login/help attribution, applicable notification requirements, noncommercial and no-distribution-charge restrictions, and ROM naming and derivative-identification rules. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Availability of this archive does not establish that all redistribution conditions have been satisfied.

Compatibility and safety warnings
README.version identifies the underlying ROM 2.4b6 release as May 29, 1998; this does not date the later cleanup. Historical Unix/Linux C build target; modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. The package has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. The word Cleaned is a historical package label, not proof of safety. Review scripts and configuration before use. No compiled ELF/MZ programs or nested archives were detected, but this is not a safety guarantee.

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

Attribution stays with the work.
