License notice No explicit standalone redistribution grant found in INSTALL or patch. Retain attribution and applicable inherited licenses. Mirror banner is provenance, not permission. Compatibility and security warnings ROM 2.4 IPv4 binding patch. INSTALL recommends a hostname and code defaults to localhost, but inet_addr expects numeric IPv4 text, not DNS resolution. Validate address parsing and bind failures before use. INSTALL also misspells the patch filename. Preserve the plain-text mirror banner unchanged. Original bytes and included notices are preserved. Not compiled, executed, boot-tested or comprehensively security-audited. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Upload validation is not malware clearance or redistribution approval.
