 Although not necessary given the above copyright, the TinyMUSH 2.0

 Alan Schwartz in 2002 that they were willing to have any of their
 code present in PennMUSH redistributed under the Artistic License.

 The portions derived from TinyMUSH 2.2 are used under the Artistic
 License. Jean Marie Diaz, Lydia Leong, and Devin Hooker, the
 TinyMUSH 2.2 copyright holders, explicitly agreed to relicense
 their source code under the Artistic License in 2002, and TinyMUSH 2.2.5
 was released under this license; Alan Schwartz has confirmatory email 
 from them authorizing the redistribution of any portions of TinyMUSH 2.2
 that may be present in PennMUSH under the Artistic License. 

 The Artistic License is also the license under which you
 are granted permission to copy, modify, and redistribute PennMUSH:

 The Artistic License
 
 Preamble
 
 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
 reasonable modifications.
 
 Definitions:
 
 "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
 Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
 textual modification.
 "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
 or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
 Holder.
 "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
 for the package.
 "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
 "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
 cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
 not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
 computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
 though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
 that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions
 they received it.
 
 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that
 you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
 disclaimers.
 
 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
 derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
 modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
 
 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
 that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
 when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of
 the following:
 
  a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
  Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
  equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
  such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
  modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
 
  b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
 
  c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
  standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
  manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how
  it differs from the Standard Version.
 
  d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
 
 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
 
  a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
  together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
  to get the Standard Version.
 
  b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
  Package with your modifications.
 
  c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding
  Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables
  non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual
  pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
  Standard Version.
 
  d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
 
 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
 this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
 Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you
 may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
 programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution
 provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
 
 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under
 the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them,
 and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
 
 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package
 shall not be considered part of this Package.
 
 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
 promote products derived from this software without specific prior
 written permission.
 
 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
 WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
 MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
