-NETHACK GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-(Copyright 1989 M. Stephenson)
-(Based on the BISON general public license, copyright 1988 Richard M.
-Stallman)
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
-license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also use this wording
-to make the terms for other programs.
-The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the mercy
-of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is intended
-to give everyone the right to share NetHack. To make sure that you get
-the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-Hence this license agreement.
-
-Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away
-copies of NetHack, that you receive source code or else can get it if
-you want it, that you can change NetHack or use pieces of it in new free
-programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
-To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
-deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
-copies of NetHack, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
-have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
-code. And you must tell them their rights.
-
-Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds
-out that there is no warranty for NetHack. If NetHack is modified by
-someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
-they have is not what we distributed.
-
-Therefore we (Mike Stephenson and other holders of NetHack copyrights)
-make the following terms which say what you must do to be allowed to
-distribute or change NetHack.
-
-COPYING POLICIES
-You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of NetHack source code as
-you receive it, in any medium, provided that you keep intact the notices
-on all files that refer to copyrights, to this License Agreement, and to
-the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
-NetHack program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program.
-You may modify your copy or copies of NetHack or any portion of it, and
-copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 1
-above (including distributing this License Agreement), provided that you
-also do the following:
-a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you
-changed the files and the date of any change; and
-
-b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-whole or in part contains or is a derivative of NetHack or any part
-thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on terms
-identical to those contained in this License Agreement (except that you
-may choose to grant more extensive warranty protection to some or all
-third parties, at your option)
-
-c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
-transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
-protection in exchange for a fee.
