= Registration Details =

* Name: *FreeLarn*
* System Name:  *freelarn*
* Type: non-GNU software and documentation
* License: Apache 2.0 (I chose the Apache 2.0 license for this due to its
permissiveness and the patent clause, which to me is important in protecting
Free Software.

I test and code this to ensure it runs primarily on a completely free OS as
that is what I use on a daily basis.)

==== Description: ====
This project is a substantial rewrite and modification of the Roguelike game
Larn, originally written in 1986.  I have spent the last 2 years rewriting and
modifying enough of the code in order to re-license the game under a Free
Software license, as the original author (who died in the mid 90s) had a
'not-for-profit' clause in the original custom license.

This game was originally written in C, though I have since re-written it in
C++ using the latest GCC 7 C++ standards and features.

It is special due to its historical significance as one of the first 'major'
roguelikes, it remained a bit of a pariah due to its non-free license.

I have called this version FreeLarn, to distinguish it from not only the
original but of the many non-free variants that still exist, to avoid
confusion and to give clarity.


==== Other Software Required: ====
ncurses + X11 License + https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/

jsoncpp + dual public domain / MIT +
https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp


==== Other Comments: ====
This game is a terminal tty based game and does not contain any media files
whatsoever.
