-I.A. Terms of use
-=================
-
- You may use ADOM freely provided you acknowledge the following terms
- and abide by them:
-
- 1. ADOM must only be distributed in the packages created by
- Thomas Biskup, the maintainer of the game. The packages
- must remain complete and all components must not be altered
- in any way.
-
- 2. You may not charge more than $3 for the distribution of
- ADOM (values as of November, 2001).
-
- 3. You do not challenge ADOM's copyright in any way.
-
- 4. If you distribute ADOM with a magazine, a CD-ROM distribution
- or a similar medium, you abide by the terms defined in section
- I.B.
-
- 5. You follow all other licensing terms (as given by entering
- 'adom -b' and 'adom -g').
-
- 6. You acknowledge that the author of ADOM is in no way
- responsible for damage done to your system due to ADOM usage.
-
- 7. If you play ADOM for a prolonged amount of time and enjoy
- it, you agree to abide by the terms of section I.C.
-
-
- Failure to honor these terms will be a severe violation of the license
- and could result in legal measures being taken if you are deemed
- important enough to deserve it.
-
-
-I.B. Distributing ADOM in magazines, on disks, etc.
-===================================================
-
- You can freely distribute ADOM with magazines, in game compilations,
- etc. provided you abide by the following terms:
-
- 1. You honor all terms listed in section I.A.
-
- 2. You agree to notify the author of ADOM, Thomas Biskup, either
- by email at creator@ancientdomainsofmystery.com or by sending
- a written letter to the following address:
-
- Thomas Biskup
- Zu den Tannen 5
- 58456 Witten
- Germany
-
- 3. You send two complimentary copies of your product (one for
- actual examination and one for being stored in my safe) to the
- address given under #2 (or, if it is an electronic publication,
- to the email address given above).
-
- Failure to do so will be a severe violation of this licensing agreement
- and will incur legal measures.
-
-
-I.C. The Postcard Quest.
-========================
-
- If you want to thank me (Thomas Biskup) for creating ADOM, maintaining it,
- fixing all discovered bugs, providing support and generally spending a lot
- of time on the game and if you are having fun with the game, please
- consider rewarding my efforts by sending a postcard to the following
- address from wherever you live:
-
- Thomas Biskup
- Zu den Tannen 5
- 58456 Witten
- Germany
-
- I *love* receiving postcards from all over the world. Weigh the fun
- ADOM gave you against the ten minutes you probably need to
- write and send such a postcard -- and if you find that you like and
- enjoy the game -- please do it. I'm really not asking much... am I?
-
-
-I.D. Licensing ADOM and other commercial ventures.
-==================================================
-
- ADOM is an immensely successful game and I'm proud of that. Still, there
- are things that still could be done. If you are member of a game
- company and would like to publish a game that could easily be able to
- rival the success of Diablo by Blizzard software, two things are
- necessary:
-
- 1. You need a competent team of programmers and artists.
-
- 2. You need to be willing to license ADOM from me. If you are
- interested in such a commercial venture email me at
- creator@ancientdomainsofmystery.com.
-
- Consider it if you work for a game company.
