License and attribution Bundled DikuMUD, Merc and release-specific ROM terms apply, including noncommercial restrictions, preserved notices, login/help credits, naming restrictions and applicable notification requirements. These are not unrestricted-use licenses. Historical contact details may no longer work; distribution permission remains for staff review. The RoT 1.4 notice credits Russ Walsh, requires unchanged RoT help and login attribution, and includes a network-access condition with a limited anti-spam banning exception. Inherited notices remain applicable. Compatibility and safety warnings Historical software, not compiled, boot-tested or security-audited by Mudhaven. Modern compiler, operating-system and save/world compatibility is unverified. Review all scripts and runtime defaults before deployment; no malware-free assurance. Preserves bundled scripts and platform-specific build files. OLC and Windows ports have separate integration assumptions; the Windows port maintainer is not established by this notice review.
