About this resource
Original Pirate.tar.gz containing a historical PirateMUD source/world snapshot with 49 C/header files. Its welcome screen identifies Original PirateMUD as modified Copper code. No reliable release version or sole variant copyright author has been established. Credits DikuMUD creators: Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Bundled credits also name Michael Curran, Ragnar Loenn, Bill Wisner, Mads Haar and Stephan Dahl. memory.c credits Dionysos (God of Wine); atm.c credits Swiftest for zone integration. The welcome screen names Ddruid and Raldi as PirateMUD operators, not verified sole copyright authors. Preserve all individual source and world notices. License warning The README refers to doc/licence.doc and source headers refer to license.doc, but neither the document nor the doc directory is present in this archive. Inherited DikuMUD and component terms and redistribution permission require review. Historical availability does not establish permission. Preserve all bundled notices and credits; no substitute license has been inserted and no claim is made that the complete license is included. Compatibility and safety warnings Historical Unix build assumptions may require porting. The bundled syntax_check program is a 32,768-byte dynamically linked SPARC executable, not a native modern x86 server tool. Review historical startup and maintenance scripts, configuration and backup sources before use. No included script or executable was run during this review. The package has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. Runtime-data warning The unchanged archive contains nonempty historical player, saved-object, ATM-account, old crash and log data. Player structures include password fields. Treat bundled runtime records as potentially private information and review them before deployment or redistribution. The board file, one crash placeholder and core file are empty. Structural archive validation does not certify privacy or software safety. Original files, source credits and notices remain unchanged.
