1Warzone 2100 Source & Data
2--------------------------

4This document replaces the file "readme.txt" as present in the Warzone 2100 GPL
5 release of December 6th 2004.

71) These source and data files are provided as is with no guarantees:
8 - No assistance or support will be offered or given.
9 - Everything you will require to make a build of the game should be here. If
10 it isn't, you'll have to improvise.
11 - None of us here at Pivotal Games are in a position to be able to offer any
12 help with making this work.
13
142) Everything included (source code and data), as well as the not included
15 videos and music, is released under the terms of the GNU General Public
16 License, version 2 or (at your option) any later version.
17 Please be sure to read the entirety of this license, but the summary is that
18 you're free to do what you want with the source subject to making the full
19 source code freely available in the event of the distribution of new
20 binaries.
21
223) Following exception to the GPL is granted:
23 ------
24 Linking Warzone 2100 statically or dynamically with other modules is making
25 a combined work based on Warzone 2100. Thus, the terms and conditions of
26 the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
27
28 In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of Warzone 2100
29 give you permission to combine Warzone 2100 with code included in the
30 standard release of libraries that are accessible, redistributable and
31 linkable free of charge. You may copy and distribute such a system
32 following the terms of the GNU GPL for Warzone 2100 and the licenses of the
33 other code concerned.
34
35 Note that people who make modified versions of Warzone 2100 are not
36 obligated to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it
37 is their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
38 permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
39 exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which
40 carries forward this exception.
41 ------
42
434) Permission is granted to use the name "Warzone 2100", the logos, stories,
44 texts and related materials.
45
465) Permission is granted to copy and distribute unaltered copies and/or images
47 of the original game discs in any medium, provided that they are distributed
48 free of charge and retain their original copyright and trademark notices.

50Finally, the primary motivation for this release is for entertainment and
51 educational purposes. On the subject of the latter, don't be surprised to see
52 some pretty gnarly old-school C code in here; the game was a classic, but large
53 areas of the code aren't pretty; OO design and C++ evangelists beware! We
54 haven't spent any time cleaning the code or making it pretty - what you see is
55 what you're getting, warts n' all.
56
57Thank you to Jonathan Kemp of Eidos Europe for permitting the release. Thanks to
58 Martin Severn for allowing to use his soundtrack. Thanks to Jason Walker for
59 helping to facilitate the release of the movies and sound tracks, as well as
60 clarifying the meaning of this license. Thanks also to Frank Lamboy for
61 assistance with the release and for campaigning along with many many others
62 over the years for the source to be made available.
63The correspondence, online petitions and persistence made this possible. We were
64 constantly amazed at the community support for Warzone even after all this
65 time; it's nice to be able to give something back, assuming you can get it to
66 compile... ;-)
