About this resource

Original nimud4.tar.gz. Historical NiMUD 4 TAR Distribution package with source files. Original notices and package contents are retained.

Credits
NiMUD / The Isles by Herb Gilliland / Locke; portions credit Chris Woodward. Merc by Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD by Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve individual source, component and area credits.

License and attribution
Inherited DikuMUD and Merc notices impose noncommercial, retained-notice, attribution and other conditions, including release-specific notification requirements. Read the exact bundled versions. No unrestricted-use or public-domain grant is asserted. Historical contact addresses may no longer work.

NiMUD release notices vary. Custom notices include noncommercial/no-charge and retained-notice requirements, with versions requiring express author permission for redistribution of parts or ports. Some snapshots include GPL text alongside inherited Diku/Merc and component notices. Do not treat the complete package as solely GPL or assume all terms are compatible. Resolve the exact variant before approval.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Historical software not compiled, executed, malware-scanned or security-audited by Mudhaven. Modern platform, compiler and world/save compatibility is unverified. Hash matches establish byte identity, not safety or distribution permission.

NiMUD 4 TAR and ZIP distributions have different contents and are separate historical packages, not interchangeable copies.

Historical runtime/player, board, log or configuration records are retained. Review for personal data and credentials before use; do not import archived accounts into a live service.

Compatibility

Historical DikuMUD-family material; verify exact revision, operating system, toolchain and world/save formats before use.

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

Original contributor and inherited terms; licensing approval pending
