If this license is revoked, Omega will revert to being licensed according to the terms of Laurence's original license.txt, included here as license.old. See omega.bug2 for a (non-binding) explanation of the motives for this change. For the purposes of the LGPL, Omega is defined as a library, and a "program" is considered additional levels, monsters, and other modifications beyond those distributed in the pristine 0.90 source, only if said additions affect only the runtime (so that an Omega binary which can use said additions may be correctly compiled from the possibly modified source you provide according to the terms of the LGPL).

Compensation: I waive all rights to compensation for the use of omega by licensees.

Currently, this is wtanksle@ucsd.edu (William Tanksley) Since Laurence has moved on and indicates that he is no longer interested in maintaining the game, you have a much greater chance of action if you email the maintainer. The latest version of omega is available for anonymous ftp from monu1.cc.monash.edu.au [130.194.1.101] in /pub/omega. This version of Omega, 0.90 prealpha 2, is distributed by wtanksle@ucsd.edu (William Tanksley). If you have any troubles with it, suggestions for a friendlier user interface, more puzzles, or any other topic you'd like to see addressed, please write to William. Every suggestion's fair game; it's been too long since Omega's gotten the respect that it deserves. Feel free to check for the latest version at http://lyric.ml.org/~wtanksle/omega/.
