License agreement & legal bable
-------------------------------
* Copyright (C) 1998-2002 BigOrno (bigorno@bigorno.net) (http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/)
* Copyright (C) 2008-2014 Pierluigi Vicinanza (pierluigi DOT vicinanza AT gmail.com)
I (BigOrno) have written the initial [xrick](http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/) code.
However, graphics and maps and sounds are by the authors of the original Rick Dangerous
game, and "Rick Dangerous" remains a trademark of its owner(s) -- maybe
Core Design (who wrote the game) or FireBird (who published it).
As of today, I have not been successful at contacting Core Design.
This makes it a bit difficult to formally release the whole code,
including data for graphics and maps and sounds, under the terms of
licences such as the GNU General Public Licence. So the code is
released "in the spirit" of the GNU GPL. Whatever that means.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
