  • Removed GPL claim since it contradicts Lars original copyright

  • Clarify mudlib part

Pull request overview

This PR changes Neolith’s licensing documentation by introducing a new docs/LICENSE, removing the bundled docs/GPLv2_LICENSE, and updating MudOS copyright text to no longer claim GPLv2 distribution—aiming to resolve a stated contradiction with upstream LPMud/MudOS restrictions.

Changes:

  • Added a new docs/LICENSE describing non-commercial terms and mudlib/user-space scope.
  • Removed the bundled GPLv2 text file (docs/GPLv2_LICENSE).
  • Removed GPLv2 distribution language from docs/Copyright.MudOS.

File Description
docs/LICENSE Adds a new custom license document and attempts to clarify driver vs mudlib/user-space scope.
docs/GPLv2_LICENSE Removes the previously bundled GPLv2 license text from the repo.
docs/Copyright.MudOS Removes GPLv2 distribution language to align with the new licensing direction.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

docs/Copyright.MudOS:22

  • This file no longer states that Neolith is distributed under GPLv2, but the repository README still links to docs/GPLv2_LICENSE (which this PR deletes). That will leave a broken link and conflicting license documentation unless the README is updated (or an alternative license reference is provided).
