-Concerning the license on the original data files:
-(basically everything in data/)
-
-The literal meaning of the release statement is ambiguous in the case
-of the original data that is included in the released package. Despite
-several attempts to get a clarification, we have received no response.
-
-We have chosen to interpret the original release statement as putting
-the original data under a GPL license. Since in the absence of a

+Warzone 2100 Source & Data
+--------------------------
+
+This document replaces the file "readme.txt" as present in the Warzone 2100 GPL
+ release of December 6th 2004.
+
+1) These source and data files are provided as is with no guarantees:
+   - No assistance or support will be offered or given.
+   - Everything you will require to make a build of the game should be here. If
+      it isn't, you'll have to improvise.
+   - None of us here at Pivotal Games are in a position to be able to offer any
+      help with making this work.
+
+2) Everything included (source code and data), as well as the not included
+    videos and music, is released under the terms of the GNU General Public
+    License, version 2 or (at your option) any later version.
+   Please be sure to read the entirety of this license, but the summary is that
+    you're free to do what you want with the source subject to making the full
+    source code freely available in the event of the distribution of new
+    binaries.
+
+3) Following exception to the GPL is granted:
+   ------
+    Linking Warzone 2100 statically or dynamically with other modules is making
+     a combined work based on Warzone 2100. Thus, the terms and conditions of
+     the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
+
+    In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of Warzone 2100
+     give you permission to combine Warzone 2100 with code included in the
+     standard release of libraries that are accessible, redistributable and
+     linkable free of charge. You may copy and distribute such a system
+     following the terms of the GNU GPL for Warzone 2100 and the licenses of the
+     other code concerned.
+
+    Note that people who make modified versions of Warzone 2100 are not
+     obligated to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it
+     is their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
+     permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
+     exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which
+     carries forward this exception.
+   ------
+
+4) Permission is granted to use the name "Warzone 2100", the logos, stories,
+    texts and related materials.
+
+5) Permission is granted to copy and distribute unaltered copies and/or images
+    of the original game discs in any medium, provided that they are distributed
+    free of charge and retain their original copyright and trademark notices.
+
+Finally, the primary motivation for this release is for entertainment and
+ educational purposes. On the subject of the latter, don't be surprised to see
+ some pretty gnarly old-school C code in here; the game was a classic, but large
+ areas of the code aren't pretty; OO design and C++ evangelists beware! We
+ haven't spent any time cleaning the code or making it pretty - what you see is
+ what you're getting, warts n' all.
+
+Thank you to Jonathan Kemp of Eidos Europe for permitting the release. Thanks to
+ Martin Severn for allowing to use his soundtrack. Thanks to Jason Walker for
+ helping to facilitate the release of the movies and sound tracks, as well as
+ clarifying the meaning of this license. Thanks also to Frank Lamboy for
+ assistance with the release and for campaigning along with many many others
+ over the years for the source to be made available.
+The correspondence, online petitions and persistence made this possible. We were
+ constantly amazed at the community support for Warzone even after all this
+ time; it's nice to be able to give something back, assuming you can get it to
+ compile... ;-)
