About this resource

Credits
RoT: Russ Walsh. ROM: Russ Taylor, Gabrielle Taylor, Brian Moore and rom.credits contributors. Merc: Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD: Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve all individual source and world credits.

License warning
Preserve the bundled DikuMUD, Merc, ROM and RoT license documents, rom.credits and README material.
Inherited DikuMUD, Merc, ROM and RoT conditions are layered, not an unrestricted-use license. Preserve source notices, copyright and license text, login/help attribution, applicable notifications, noncommercial/no-distribution-charge restrictions and derivative-identification/naming conditions. The included RoT terms also specify network-access conditions. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Archive availability does not establish that all redistribution conditions have been satisfied.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Includes a 1,547,898-byte old 32-bit x86 ELF at rot/area/rot, nonempty runtime logs and CGI/Perl scripts. Inspect logs and configuration and review/rebuild the source before deployment. OLC headers identify version 1.5a. Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. This package has not been compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. Review bundled runtime data, credentials, configuration and historical scripts before use. Do not execute bundled programs or scripts blindly. All original files and notices are retained unchanged.

Compatibility

Historical Unix/Linux source and 32-bit x86 ELF; modern GCC compatibility unverified.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.

Attribution stays with the work.
