From the past discussion about GPL, copyrights and licensing, it seems
like nobody was interested in changing existing conditions.

But I think it would be a good idea if we could draft up a standard
Netrek Source License which we feel should/could apply to any new
contributions.  It should be broad enough to let contributors set
their own terms for their own code if they wish, but those who choose
to use it would get the standard NSL protection.
