Is the code presented in the zrf rules files available for reuse by game devlopers?

See the large discussion on copyright under the main topic "Sharing Copyright".

You are welcome to use any of my source code
for YOUR OWN GAMES.
That does not mean that you can (ab)use any of my games for commercial purposes!

A similar view has been stated by Zillions
regarding the code of games that are on their CD.

If in doubt, ask the author.
If you don't have his/her OK or cannot get it
(e.g. because there is no email address in the code), I feel you should still be free to use the METHOD or way the author used to solve a certain problem.

The basic rule I recommend is to always be aware of other people's copyrights.

Happy programming and happy Christmas 2002!

You are welcome to use my source code or graphics as long as it is not for commercial purposes and you give appropriate credit. I will also modify my graphics to suit your purposes.
