Paradise

2000-03-28 Thread Jeffrey Watts
Hello, I'm a member of the Paradise Netrek development team.  Paradise
Netrek is a X based game that started as Xtrek back in 1986.  It is a
multiplayer, real-time, Internet game.

Paradise has undergone a revival recently, and active development has
resumed.

The Paradise Netrek developers would like to work with Debian to get
Paradise included in Debian GNU/Linux.

Please let me know what I need to do or who I need to contact.  I should
be on debian-devel but feel free to CC me.

Thanks,
Jeffrey.

Unfortunately, this cannot be done.  I have discovered that the Paradise
server code has an annoying "non-commercial use" clause that prohibits
distribution for a fee.

I'm working to correct the copyright and license problems with Paradise.

The client meets the specifications, though the license is weak and poorly
written.  Contact me off-list and we'll work on something.

The client has had a major overhaul, and the two trees (TedTurner and
standard) have been merged.  In addition, Dave Ahn has merged in many
fixes from the Bronco client.  We are planning a new release Real Soon
Now.

Thanks,
Jeffrey.
