GodWars 2006 - Release 2.0 Historical Codebase

Overview
GodWars 2006 Release 2.0 is a historical codebase credited to Chrono, dated April 7, 2006 in its release license. It builds on Kai's GodWars 2000, Richard Woolcock's God Wars Deluxe, Merc, and DikuMUD. The original godwars2k6.tar.gz contains 127 files, including C source and headers, build and startup files, 59 area files, help text, and documentation. The older README describes the inherited GodWars 2000 release and should not be mistaken for the 2006 version's release date.

Archive and provenance
Mudhaven hosts the original godwars2k6.tar.gz archive unchanged. Its SHA-256 hash matched the historical copy available from the Xrakisis Mud Site archive when checked. No source files, documentation, licenses, credits, or other archive members were edited, removed, or repacked. Hosting notification has been sent, as confirmed by the site administrator. Archive-site upload dates are not original release dates.

Credits
GodWars 2006 changes: Chrono. GodWars 2000: Kai. God Wars Deluxe: Richard Woolcock (KaVir). Merc: Michael Chastain, Michael Quan, and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD: Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen, and Katja Nyboe. Additional contributors retain their individual source, area, and documentation notices.

License warning
The package includes doc/license.doc, doc/license.txt, doc/license.gw, doc/license.gw2k, and doc/license.gw2k6. These layered historical licenses are not an unrestricted-use or public-domain grant. Read every included license before use or redistribution. Requirements include underlying noncommercial restrictions, notification provisions, retained copyrights, specified help entries, and login credits. The GodWars 2000 and 2006 terms include additional author contact and attribution requirements. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. On-site availability grants no additional permissions, and later upstream license changes should not be assumed to cover all contributions.

Compatibility and runtime-data warning
Legacy C intended for Unix-style build tools. Mudhaven has not compiled or boot-tested it; modern compiler, library, operating-system, and 64-bit compatibility are unverified. The archive includes old source backup files, a small nohup.out runtime-output file, and change-history data. These remain unchanged in the original download. Initial inspection found no populated player directories; that is not a comprehensive security or privacy audit or a malware-free certification. Review all code, scripts, and bundled data, compile as an unprivileged user, and test in an isolated environment before exposing a server publicly.
