License warning
Preserve the inherited CircleMUD/DikuMUD copyright, license and attribution notices and all contributor conditions. No standalone full license document was found in this archive; do not treat historical availability as redistribution permission or substitute a different release's terms. The README is retained unchanged and is not a replacement license.

Release and archive warnings
Incomplete experimental release with unfinished features. The author recommends studying individual features rather than drop-in operation. The README asks that Circle, Diku and LostLands credits remain intact and requests LostLands/Billy H. Chan attribution in the opening sequence. Contains a historical .crash record and an absolute symlink named src/util/etc targeting the author's old build directory. Its TAR has one zero end block. No link is followed or repaired; do not extract blindly or with elevated privileges.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Historical code has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-scanned or security-audited by Mudhaven. Review obsolete scripts, runtime data, defaults and world/save formats before use. Matching hashes establish byte identity, not safety or distribution rights. Historical contact addresses may no longer work.

Compatibility

Modified Circle 3.0 bpl8 source and formats; modern compiler and operating-system compatibility unverified.

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.

License

Inherited Circle/Diku and contributor terms; licensing unresolved
