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. Keep the ROM notice and all port/component notices. Bundled Cygwin runtime distribution and corresponding-source obligations need separate review; source inclusion alone does not establish that every binary component is cleared. 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. Includes rom.exe and cygwin.dll, historical sample privileged-player data and documented default credentials. Do not adopt archived accounts or passwords as live defaults. No binary was executed.
Compatibility
Historical ROM-family material; exact release, platform, compiler and world-format compatibility must be verified.
