- 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.
