License and attribution Applicable inherited DikuMUD and Merc notices require retained notices and attribution and impose noncommercial and other conditions. ROM notices add release-specific login/help credits, notification and reserved-name conditions. Read the exact bundled versions. No unrestricted-use or public-domain grant is asserted. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. The included ROM notice has additional restriction and conditional time-related wording. Preserve and review that exact variant rather than substituting a later license. Review bundled runtime DLL terms and corresponding-source obligations separately. Compatibility and safety warnings Historical software not compiled, executed, malware-scanned or security-audited by Mudhaven. Modern compiler, operating-system and save/world compatibility is unverified. Matching hashes establish byte identity, not safety or distribution permission. Binary-only server package. Exact source-to-binary provenance is unverified, and compatible world files are separate. No executable was run.
Compatibility
Historical ROM-family material; exact release, platform, compiler and world-format compatibility must be verified.
