About this resource

Original Wurm2.5.tgz. Historical Wurm ROM-derived C codebase with world data and release-specific game changes. Original documentation, runtime data and build artifacts are retained.

Credits
Grehyton, Chardros, Nep, Aeil, Laocious, Galamadriel and Wurm contributors. Names are documented in the Wurm companion project notes. ROM by Russ Taylor / Alander and contributors. Merc by Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse. DikuMUD by Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve individual source, component and area credits.

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.

Retain Wurm contributor credits and the included ROM, Merc and DikuMUD notices. Project companion notes identify contributors but do not establish a complete independent redistribution grant for every component or area. Licensing approval remains unresolved.

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 historical player/configuration/runtime data. Review archived accounts, scripts, board/log data and privileges before use; do not adopt these records as live defaults. Version labels come from archive names and may not match every internal file.

Companion notes describe changes to spells, skills and areas and require the bad.names dictionary. Includes Unix ELF executable/object build artifacts. The notes call this a final release, but later-labeled archives also exist.

Compatibility

Historical ROM-family material; exact release, platform, compiler and world-format compatibility must be verified.

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.
