+                       Section I: The ADOM License
+===--------------------------------------------------------------------===
+
+
+I.A. Terms of use
+=================
+
+  You may use ADOM freely provided you acknowledge the following terms
+  and abide by them:
+
+        1. ADOM must only be distributed in the packages created by
+           Thomas Biskup, the maintainer of the game.  The packages
+           must remain complete and all components must not be altered
+           in any way.
+
+        2. You may not charge more than $3 for the distribution of
+           ADOM (values as of November, 2001).
+
+        3. You do not challenge ADOM's copyright in any way.
+
+        4. If you distribute ADOM with a magazine, a CD-ROM distribution
+           or a similar medium, you abide by the terms defined in section
+           I.B.
+
+        5. You follow all other licensing terms (as given by entering
+           'adom -b' and 'adom -g').
+
+        6. You acknowledge that the author of ADOM is in no way
+           responsible for damage done to your system due to ADOM usage.
+
+        7. If you play ADOM for a prolonged amount of time and enjoy
+           it, you agree to abide by the terms of section I.C.
+
+
+  Failure to honor these terms will be a severe violation of the license
+  and could result in legal measures being taken if you are deemed
+  important enough to deserve it.
+
+
+I.B. Distributing ADOM in magazines, on disks, etc.
+===================================================
+
+  You can freely distribute ADOM with magazines, in game compilations,
+  etc. provided you abide by the following terms:
+
+        1. You honor all terms listed in section I.A.
+
+        2. You agree to notify the author of ADOM, Thomas Biskup, either
+           by email at adom%adom.de@localhost or by sending a written letter
+           to the following address:
+
+                Thomas Biskup
+                Timmerbrinksweg 37
+                45896 Gelsenkirchen
+                Germany
+
+        3. You send two complimentary copies of your product (one for
+           actual examination and one for being stored in my safe) to the
+           address given under #2 (or, if it is an electronic publication,
+           to the email address given above).
+
+  Failure to do so will be a severe violation of this licensing agreement
+  and will incur legal measures.
+
+
+I.C. The Postcard Quest.
+========================
+
+  If you want to thank me (Thomas Biskup) for creating ADOM, maintaining it,
+  fixing all discovered bugs, providing support and generally spending a lot
+  of time on the game and if you are having fun with the game, please
+  consider rewarding my efforts by sending a postcard to the following
+  address from wherever you live:
+
+                Thomas Biskup
+                Timmerbrinksweg 37
+                45896 Gelsenkirchen
+                Germany
+
+  I *love* receiving postcards from all over the world.  Weigh the fun
+  ADOM gave you against the ten minutes you probably need to
+  write and send such a postcard -- and if you find that you like and
+  enjoy the game -- please do it.  I'm really not asking much... am I?
+
+
+I.D. Licensing ADOM and other commercial ventures.
+==================================================
+
+  ADOM is an immensely successful game and I'm proud of that.  Still, there
+  are things that still could be done.  If you are member of a game
+  company and would like to publish a game that could easily be able to
+  rival the success of Diablo by Blizzard software, two things are
+  necessary:
+
+        1. You need a competent team of programmers and artists.
+
+        2. You need to be willing to license ADOM from me.  If you are 
+           interested in such a commercial venture email me at
+           ADOM%ADOM.DE@localhost.
+
+  Consider it if you work for a game company.  ADOM has been voted the
+  most popular game 1997 on the Internet Chart of Free Downloadable Games
+  (see http://www.worldcharts.com) and every new version is downloaded by
+  at least 5000 persons -- and that for a game without network support or
+  graphics that deserve that name.  Now think of a game with ADOM's
+  unrivaled engine and the great graphics used in Diablo and other
+  p--------------------------------------

+   section VIII: Installation.
+
+   Any other questions might be answered in Section IV: Miscellaneous
