The legal system rears its ugly head.... I am going to copyright GB.

What this means is that I will go through all the files and say they
are copyrighted by me.  I'd like to get a list of the people
who worked on it over the summer so that you can all be listed under
"modifications by ...."  Then I'll mail the files to Garrett Van Cleef
and that will be that.  Basically I heard a couple of horror stories
about people who had stuff swiped from them, and I'd like to get this out of
the way in case I decide to adapt it for the Amiga or any number of
other things happen to the source.

The message will say that anyone is free to play and modify the game to
their heart's content, but maybe something about not selling it for money 
except after talking with me first.

Supposedly this has to be done in the same year that I released it, and that's
this year.

Let me say again that I appreciate everything you all have done with the
game.  If this turns out to be the next Empire, we will all have the pleasure
of possessing massively overinflated egos.

thanks
