License Information for TADS 3 for MS-DOS (djgpp version) --------------------------------------------------------- TADS 3 for MS-DOS Copyright (c) 1997, 2012 by Michael J. Roberts. This software is a copyrighted work, which means that the copyright laws of the United States and other countries prohibit anyone from copying or distributing it without the express written permission of its author. The author hereby grants anyone permission to use, copy, and distribute this software, without charge, subject to the following conditions: - You may not remove any copyright notices from the software or any accompanying files. - You may not resell this software for profit, except that you may include the TADS 3 run-time executable with a game that you developed with TADS 3 and which you sell for profit. (In other words, we don't want you to make a profit at our expense by selling TADS itself, but we want TADS game developers to be able to share or sell their games, which necessarily include the TADS run-time, in any way they please.) - Any copies you share with others must be complete and unmodified from the original copies you received, and you must include this license and the copyright notice with all copies. - Anyone to whom you give a copy of this software receives all of the same permissions that you did under this License. Any games you create with TADS 3 are entirely your own to do with as you please. If you have any questions about this license, please contact the author at the email address listed later in this file. LIBRARY LICENSE --------------- The TADS 3 distribution includes the standard adventure library, a set of TADS source code (files whose names end in ".t", plus header files, whose names end in ".h", that the .t files include) defining the world model, parser, and so on. You may use and redistribute the library source code, and you may modify the library code and create derived works based on the library, subject to the condition that you include the original copyright notice on each original or modified file that you redistribute in source form. You may add your own copyright notice as well to cover the changes you make. If you create a new work based on the library, or you so extensively modify the library that you create a predominately new work, you must still include the original copyright notice, but you may make the original copyright notice secondary to your own and you may modify the original notice to indicate that your work is "based on the TADS 3 library." For example, you might change the copyright notice to read: My Extended Library, copyright 2003 by John Q. Author Based on the TADS 3 Library, copyright 1997, 2012 by Michael J. Roberts. If you use the library (or a modified version of the library) to create a game, and you distribute your game only in compiled form (as a ".t3" file), you are NOT required to mention the library copyright anywhere, but you are certainly welcome to mention us in your game's credits if you'd like.
