+Slaves to Armok: God of Blood
+Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress
+
+*** COPYRIGHT INFORMATION ****************************
+
+Copyright (c) 2002-2014.  All rights are retained by Tarn Adams, save the
+following:  you may redistribute the binary and accompanying files, unmodified,
+provided you do so free of charge.  If you'd like to distribute a modified
+version of the game or portion of the archive and are worried about copyright
+infringement, please contact Tarn Adams at toadyone@bay12games.com.
+
+This software is still in development, and this means that there are going to be
+problems, including serious problems that, however unlikely, might damage your
+system or the information stored on it.  Please be aware of this before playing.
+
+*** SUPPORT BAY 12 ***********************************
+
+Bay 12 Games is fan-supported.  We've put a lot of time and effort into these
+games, which are all freely distributed, but we can't survive on your feedback
+alone.  Donations are appreciated.  Visit www.bay12games.com/support.html to see
+how you can help.

+Many suggestions from fans on the bay12games.com and other forums (and the

+contributions credited above that are in use by the game are distributed with
+the Linux version (see the g_src directory and licenses below).
+
+*** OPTIPNG ******************************************
+
+optipng is bundled into the zip for use to change BMPs into PNGs easily, at
+least until PNG support is added to DF itself.  The license is included in this
+folder.  You can get the optipng documentation and source at
+http://optipng.sourceforge.net.  You can use the compress_bitmaps batch file to
+convert any BMP in the folder to PNG.  The BMP files are deleted afterward.
+
+*** NOTES ON MODIFICATIONS ***************************
+
+Existing save files will become unusable if any raw/objects entries are removed.
+If you change the configuration of the bodies of existing creatures, save files
+may become unstable.  New additions to the files are not incorporated into
+existing worlds but will be added to the next world you generate.
+
+We do not accept submissions for the official Dwarf Fortress releases.  Please
+do not ask for your code, art, sound or raw/objects txt files to be incorporated
+into the official releases.
+
