packaging rogue-like game angband



Hi,

	I am thinking of packaging angband (as far as I recall no-one
 is attempting to do so).  Due to copyright problems It has to go into
 non-free.  I'm attaching the description and copyright below. (I'll
 be packaging spoilers and extended docs in a separate package
 shortly). 

	If you have any concerns, speak now, or forever .. ;-)

 Description: A single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation
  Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived
  from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. It is
  often described as a "roguelike" game because the look and feel of
  the game is still quite similar to Rogue.
  .
  Angband features many enhancements over Moria: unique foes, artifacts,
  monster pits and vaults to name a few. Many of these new creatures
  and objects are drawn from the writings of J.R.R Tolkien, although
  some of the monsters come straight from classical mythology, Dungeons
  & Dragons, Rolemaster, or the minds of the orginal Angband coders.
  .
  The ultimate goal of the game is to develop a character strong enough
  to defeat Morgoth, who resides on dungeon level 100. Upon doing so,
  you will receive the exalted status of "winner" and your character may
  retire.
  .
  Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron."
  .
  Morgoth was 'the Dark Enemy of Middle-Earth' during its First Age. He
  was banished by the Valar (offspring of Eru, "god" of J.R.R.
  Tolkien's world) at the end of the First Age and thus never appears
  in The Lord of the Rings, set during the Third Age. Sauron, who does
  figure into those tales, was the most powerful of his servants. Read
  Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion' for more on the legends of Middle-Earth.
