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 Robert Chansky smq@ucscb.ucsc.edu
