| Derivative Works |
| ---------------- |
| |
| This source code is distributed for the specific purpose of porting |
| TADS, so that you can run the software on any system of your choosing. |
| All other derivative works are prohibited without the written |
| permission of the author. I want to avoid the creation of variations |
| on the system, because it leads to confusion on the part of users if |
| there are multiple incompatible flavors floating around. However, if |
| you have a specific idea in mind, I'd be happy to at least consider |
| it. Please contact the author if you have any questions about this or |
| if you would like permission to create a derived work. |
| |
| If you port TADS to a new platform, the author does grant permission |
| for you to distribute your ported version - I encourage it, in fact. |
| I ask that you include your contact information in any distribution |
| package you create, so that users of your version will know how to |
| contact you if they have any questions relating specifically to your |
| version. |
