This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of Maelstrom, an
arcade-style game resembling Asteroids.

This version of the package was made by Christoph Baumann
<chris@mathphys.fsk.uni-heidelberg.de>, from sources obtained from:

  ftp://ftp.devolution.com/pub/maelstrom/Maelstrom-1.4.3-L2.0.6-src.tar.gz

Last maintainer was Richard Braakmann <dark@xs4all.nl> (1.4.3-L2.0.6-1 to
1.4.3-L2.0.6-7).
Earlier versions were maintained by Robert Leslie <rob@mars.org>.

The source was patched to work with the GNU C library, and patched
again to restore the sgid-games setting that the svgalib
initialization (mistakenly) tries to drop.

This version of Maelstrom looks for its Maelstrom_sound file in a
specific directory (/usr/lib/games/maelstrom/Maelstrom_sound) rather
than along the user's path.

The following copyright applies to this software:

  This software, the Linux port of Maelstrom, may be freely copied
  and used.  It may not be resold or used in a commercial product
  without the consent of Andrew Welch, the author of the original
  Macintosh version of Maelstrom, and the consent of Sam Lantinga,
  author of the port of Maelstrom to Linux.

  Please don't use the code in this project directly in a game.
  Feel free to use the game programming concepts, however Macintosh
  Maelstrom remains a shareware game by Ambrosia Software.

The author of the port of Maelstrom to Linux, Sam Lantinga
<slouken@devolution.com>, has approved the inclusion of Maelstrom in Debian
distributions, including commercially distributed versions, as long as
Maelstrom is _not_ sold independently and remains freely available.

1997-Aug-12:
Debian policy has changed since the agreement above was made, and
section 8 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines says:

     8.   License Must Not Be Specific to Debian

          The rights attached to the program must not depend on the
          program's being part of a Debian system. If the program is
          extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but
          otherwise within the terms of the program's license, all parties
          to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights
          as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system.

The package has been moved to non-free because of that.
