Other tilesets are creations of the respective creators - +download the latest artpack for details. + +MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL are owned and licensed entirely by +Microsoft. They are redistributed with POWDER as per their edicts. I'd +rather not have to include them. + +Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library is licensed under the GNU +Lesser General Public License (LGPL). POWDER conforms to the third +clause - where you downloaded this should also have been a link to +download a source tarball. + +Information about SDL can be found at: +http://www.libsdl.org/ + +Information about the LGPL license can be found at: +http://www.libsdl.org/license.php +http://www.gnu.org.copyleft/lgpl.html + +Information about the Mersenne Twister can be found at: +http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html + +Execution +--------- +You are allowed to execute the POWDER binary, either by running it in +an emulator or on hardware. + +Duplication +----------- +You are allowed to duplicate the POWDER distribution provided you: +1) Keep the distribution intact. This means keeping this license. +2) Do not charge for the act of duplication, nor for the medium of +duplication above the rate which you paid to acquire it. +3) Do not add to the distribution in a manner which obscures the +original author. +4) Do not modify the POWDER binary nor accompanying files. This +includes, but is not limited to, the removal of any licensing or +copyright information embedded in the files. + +An exception is made when duplicating to a cartridge or similar device +for purpose of executing the binary on hardware. In this case, the +binary alone needs to be duplicated (as that is all that is practical) +An exception is made for patching the binary to run on certain +platforms. + +Transfer +-------- +You are free to transfer copies of POWDER to others, provided they +remain unaltered, and the transfer is performed without payment. You +are encouraged to instead show people to the author's current web site +where the latest version may be acquired. + +Reverse Engineering +------------------- +You are strongly discouraged from reverse engingeering the POWDER +binary. If you have questions about how an algorithm worked, contact +the author who will likely freely answer. If would like the source, +check the download site where it is available. + +Disclaimer +---------- +Neither the author, nor anyone associated with the distribution of +this binary to your system, is responsible for any damage done to your +computer, console, or handheld. This includes, but is not limited +to, loss of data, work, time, or hardware. + +In some, or all, places, a limitation of liability may not be +possible. It is your responsibility to verify that within your +jurisdiction the above disclaimer fully exempts the author from all +liability. If it does not, all earlier rights of execution, +duplication, and transfer are rescinded. + +ALL CAPS +-------- +THIS SECTION OF THE LICENSING AGREEMENT IS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS TO MAKE +IT APPEAR MORE LEGAL. IT ISN'T. INSTEAD, IT IS JUST A FRIENDLY +REMINDER TO ENJOY POWDER AND TO CONTACT THE AUTHOR IF YOU PLAY IT. +EVEN IF YOU HATE THE GAME. POWDER IS A LABOUR OF LOVE WHICH HAS PAID +FOR ITSELF IN THE AUTHOR'S OWN ENJOYMENT, YET THERE IS NO REASON WHY +IT CANNOT EARN EVEN MORE DIVIDENDS OF HAPPINESS BY BRINGING JOY TO THE +LIVES OF OTHERS. -- cgit v1.2.3
