12** LICENSE AGREEMENT & LEGAL BABLE
13
14I have written the xrick code. However, graphics and maps and sounds
15are by the authors of the original Rick Dangerous game, and "Rick
16Dangerous" remains a trademark of its owner(s) -- maybe Core Design
17(who wrote the game) or FireBird (who published it). As of today, I
18have not been successful at contacting Core Design.
19
20This makes it a bit difficult to formally release the whole code,
21including data for graphics and maps and sounds, under the terms of
22licences such as the GNU General Public Licence. So the code is
23released "in the spirit" of the GNU GPL. Whatever that means.
