License warning
The included doc/license.doc states that DikuMUD is not public domain and includes noncommercial and no-distribution-charge restrictions, notification requirements, intact copyright/license notices, and creator attribution in running games. Preserve the exact included license, README material, lib/credits and all individual notices. This description is not confirmation that redistribution conditions have been fulfilled. Historical contact addresses may be obsolete.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. This package has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. Structural archive validation is not malware clearance. Review configuration, accounts, runtime data and historical scripts, including doc/do_mail, before use. Do not execute bundled scripts blindly. Original files and notices are retained unchanged.
