License and attribution
Inherited DikuMUD and Merc notices require retained copyright/help attribution and impose noncommercial and notification conditions. Read the exact bundled versions. Missing notices or a distributor claim do not establish permission. Historical contact addresses may no longer work.

README_2.2 credits Holly J. Sommer / Newman and identifies data taken from NiMUD releases. No separate complete redistribution grant was established. Preserve NiMUD, inherited and individual-area terms.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Historical material not compiled, executed, malware-scanned or security-audited by Mudhaven. Modern compiler, platform and world/save compatibility is unverified. Matching hashes establish byte identity, not safety or distribution rights.

Contains an inner make-start.tar of build/startup support, plus historical sample privileged-player data and documented default credentials. Never reuse those credentials or import archived accounts into a live service. NiMUD area formats differ from standard Merc.

Historical runtime/configuration, player or build data may be present and is retained unchanged. Review for sensitive information, unsafe defaults and obsolete binaries 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.
