+** LICENSE AGREEMENT & LEGAL BABLE
+
+I have written the xrick code. However, graphics and maps and sounds
+are by the authors of the original Rick Dangerous game, and "Rick
+Dangerous" remains a trademark of its owner(s) -- maybe Core Design
+(who wrote the game) or FireBird (who published it). As of today, I
+have not been successful at contacting Core Design.
+
+This makes it a bit difficult to formally release the whole code,
+including data for graphics and maps and sounds, under the terms of
+licences such as the GNU General Public Licence. So the code is
+released "in the spirit" of the GNU GPL. Whatever that means.
+
+This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
+WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
