| | 31 | This source code is distributed for the specific purpose of porting |
| | 32 | TADS, so that you can run the software on any system of your choosing. |
| | 33 | All other derivative works are prohibited without the written |
| | 34 | permission of the author. I want to avoid the creation of variations |
| | 35 | on the system, because it leads to confusion on the part of users if |
| | 36 | there are multiple incompatible flavors floating around. However, if |
| | 37 | you have a specific idea in mind, I'd be happy to at least consider |
| | 38 | it. Please contact the author if you have any questions about this or |
| | 39 | if you would like permission to create a derived work. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | If you port TADS to a new platform, the author does grant permission |
| | 42 | for you to distribute your ported version - I encourage it, in fact. |
| | 43 | I ask that you include your contact information in any distribution |
| | 44 | package you create, so that users of your version will know how to |
| | 45 | contact you if they have any questions relating specifically to your |
| | 46 | version. |
