THE POWDER LICENSE:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
POWDER is copyright 2003-2009 by Jeff Lait.
|
|
All rights reserved.
|
|
|
|
Note
|
|
----
|
|
The Adam Bolt tileset are copyright by Adam Bolt and are licensed
|
|
seperately. Other tilesets are creations of the respective creators -
|
|
download the latest artpack for details.
|
|
|
|
MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL are owned and licensed entirely by
|
|
Microsoft. They are redistributed with POWDER as per their edicts. I'd
|
|
rather not have to include them.
|
|
|
|
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library is licensed under the GNU
|
|
Lesser General Public License (LGPL). POWDER conforms to the third
|
|
clause - where you downloaded this should also have been a link to
|
|
download a source tarball.

|
Execution
|
|
---------
|
|
You are allowed to execute the POWDER binary, either by running it in
|
|
an emulator or on hardware.
|
|
|
|
Duplication
|
|
-----------
|
|
You are allowed to duplicate the POWDER distribution provided you:
|
|
1) Keep the distribution intact. This means keeping this license.
|
|
2) Do not charge for the act of duplication, nor for the medium of
|
|
duplication above the rate which you paid to acquire it.
|
|
3) Do not add to the distribution in a manner which obscures the
|
|
original author.
|
|
4) Do not modify the POWDER binary nor accompanying files. This
|
|
includes, but is not limited to, the removal of any licensing or
|
|
copyright information embedded in the files.
|
|
|
|
An exception is made when duplicating to a cartridge or similar device
|
|
for purpose of executing the binary on hardware. In this case, the
|
|
binary alone needs to be duplicated (as that is all that is practical)
|
|
An exception is made for patching the binary to run on certain
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
Transfer
|
|
--------
|
|
You are free to transfer copies of POWDER to others, provided they
|
|
remain unaltered, and the transfer is performed without payment. You
|
|
are encouraged to instead show people to the author's current web site
|
|
where the latest version may be acquired.
|
|
|
|
Reverse Engineering
|
|
-------------------
|
|
You are strongly discouraged from reverse engingeering the POWDER
|
|
binary. If you have questions about how an algorithm worked, contact
|
|
the author who will likely freely answer. If would like the source,
|
|
check the download site where it is available.
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer
|
|
----------
|
|
Neither the author, nor anyone associated with the distribution of
|
|
this binary to your system, is responsible for any damage done to your
|
|
computer, console, or handheld. This includes, but is not limited
|
|
to, loss of data, work, time, or hardware.
|
|
|
|
In some, or all, places, a limitation of liability may not be
|
|
possible. It is your responsibility to verify that within your
|
|
jurisdiction the above disclaimer fully exempts the author from all
|
|
liability. If it does not, all earlier rights of execution,
|
|
duplication, and transfer are rescinded.
|
|
|
|
ALL CAPS
|
|
--------
|
|
THIS SECTION OF THE LICENSING AGREEMENT IS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS TO MAKE
|
|
IT APPEAR MORE LEGAL. IT ISN'T. INSTEAD, IT IS JUST A FRIENDLY
|
|
REMINDER TO ENJOY POWDER AND TO CONTACT THE AUTHOR IF YOU PLAY IT.
|
|
EVEN IF YOU HATE THE GAME. POWDER IS A LABOUR OF LOVE WHICH HAS PAID
|
|
FOR ITSELF IN THE AUTHOR'S OWN ENJOYMENT, YET THERE IS NO REASON WHY
|
|
IT CANNOT EARN EVEN MORE DIVIDENDS OF HAPPINESS BY BRINGING JOY TO THE
|
|
LIVES OF OTHERS.
