- please find a general post here to the development team or whomever is out
- there, concerning a possible violation of the licensing agreement. i just
- found a place called "Toy Liquidators" in Castle Rock, CO was selling an
- old version of nethack called "NETHACK". they show a 1988 copyright. it
- turns out that Richard M. Stallman also has a 1988 copyright on this program,
- as well as 1989 and 1990 copyrights by M. Stephenson (both under general
- public licenses). the company involved in this capitalistic activity is
- (or was, should it maybe have gone out of business): PC-SIG, 1030D East
- Duane, Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086
-
- to all netters, please pass this information on to any of the development
- team or anyone in a position to deal with licenses.
