you can use it without charge, but it is NOT public domain 
software.  You must still comply with certain restrictions 
that the author places upon its use.  You may use this 
software without any charge.  You may also freely share this 
software with others, as long as you make no changes to the 
software and include all the files you received when giving 
a copy to someone else.


FREEWARE SOFTWARE LICENSE


    This software is provided under a license agreement and 
    may be used only in accordance with the terms and 
    conditions of the license and with inclusion of the 
    copyright notice.  This software is the sole property of 
    Michael J. Roberts.  No title to or ownership of this 
    software is hereby transferred.

    The information contained in this software is subject to 
    change without notice and should not be construed as a 
    commitment by the author.

    You are hereby granted permission to use, reproduce, and 
    distribute this software subject to all of the following 
    conditions:

    1. You must include this license and the copyright 
    notice with all copies. 
    2. You may not require or 
    collect a fee for copies of this software, or any part 
    of this software, that you give to other people. 
    3. You may not include this software with any
    other software for which a fee is collected. 
    4. You may not modify this software in any way,
    and each copy you make and distribute must 
    be a full and complete copy of the software you 
    originally received. 
    5. Anyone to whom you give a copy of this software 
    receives all of the same permissions that you 
    did under this License.

    An exception to the above terms is granted for the TADS 
    Run-time executable (the application program, which is 
    part of TADS, that allows TADS games to be played).  The 
    TADS Run-time executable may be redistributed subject 
    only to the following restrictions: it is distributed as 
    part of a game developed with TADS; the game contains 
    your own copyright notice; and the TADS run- time 
    executable is not modified in any way, and in particular 
    displays its copyright notice.

    In other words, we don't want others to make a profit 
    from selling TADS itself, but we want TADS game 
    developers to be able to share or sell their games 
    (which necessarily must include the TADS run-time 
    executable) in any way they please.

    In addition, you may modify and use the included library 
    files, adv.t and std.t, in any way you want, provided 
    that if you redistribute modified copies of these files 
    in source form, the copies must include the original 
    copyright notice, and must be clearly marked as modified 
    from the original version.

    Anyone unable or unwilling to comply with any of the 
    terms and conditions of this license must destroy or 
    otherwise discard all copies of this software in his or 
    her possession.

ABOUT HIGH ENERGY SOFTWARE --------------------------

High Energy Software formerly distributed TADS as a 
shareware system, but is no longer in business.  Mike 
Roberts, the developer of TADS, is now maintaining and 
distributing the system as freeware.  We have made an effort 
to remove references from these files to High Energy 
Software and its former telephone and other contact

longer in service. If we inadvertantly left any such 
references intact, please disregard them, since they're 
oversights.
