Fnordadel Copying Conditions
----------------------------
STadel 3.3b, from which Fnordadel is a direct descendant, had a copyright
notice on it, placed there by its principal author, David Parsons (orc). In
later conversation with him, he notified us that he had relinquished any
copyright claim to STadel, and placed it in the public domain. Either way,
the wording of his copyright notice allowed distribution of public
domain derivative products such as Fnordadel, so we've stuck to doing that.
The Fnordadel sources and binaries are in the public domain. They may be
freely distributed, modified or whatever you like. If you do distribute
or modify Fnordadel, please adhere to the following conditions:
- You may not charge more than a reasonable handling or materials fee for
Fnordadel sources or binaries.
- Redistributions of Fnordadel must be complete, containing all programs,
documentation and other files present in the original distributions.
- Redistributed versions of the original Fnordadel must not be altered
in any way.
- Altered versions of Fnordadel must be plainly marked as such, and must
not be represented as the original Fnordadel. In particular, they must
not be given the name ``Fnordadel''. Credit must be given to the
original authors.
Basically, you are free to do whatever you like with Fnordadel except make
money off it or pretend that you wrote it.
This Reference Manual is the original work of, and is copyright 1991 by,
Adrian Ashley and Royce Howland. Distribution and modification of the manual
is subject to the same conditions as for binaries and sources.
Credits
-------
Fnordadel is the aggregate work of many people. Chief among these are
Cynbe ru Taren (CrT), who did the original Citadel for CP/M; H.A. White (Hue,
Jr.) of Minneapolis, who ported Citadel to MS/DOS and created Citadel-86; and
David L. Parsons (orc), who ported Citadel-86 to the Atari ST and created
STadel. We (Adrian Ashley and Royce Howland) took STadel and hacked it to
create Fnordadel; any bugs and misfeatures should be assumed to be our fault
alone, unless you're planning to sue.
We would like to thank the following people for their help and input into
both Fnordadel and this manual: John Edstrom, Hue, Jr., David Parsons (orc),
David ``Wally'' Williscroft, Garth Wood, Ken Badertscher (kbad @ Virtuality)
and many others.
Special thanks to Garth Wood, who contributed material for the first draft
of this manual; as with everything else we get, we've hacked it to bits, but
an original word or two probably still remains. Also to kbad, who proofed
the first draft of the TeXInfo version of this manual and provided critiques.
Look, Ken, no Dreaded Emoticons! (-: (-: (-:
Thanks also to the loyal users of secret and RT (our own boards), and our
many beta testers who suffered (and continue to suffer) through buggy beta
versions. We appreciate your input.
Final thanks to the Coca-Cola company, without whose product (Coke Classic)
we probably would be richer but further behind.
