It sounds like a 'mailware' to me, but it probably needs some checking with
the author.


I assume the original is this:

免責・著作・配布
　柔かいコト
　　本ゲームは「みんなで楽しく」やわらかいです。

　　本ゲームを改造したりイジったバージョンを配布しても、何らOKです。改造たのしーい！
　　改造したところや改造した人の名前を、分かりやすいところに書いておくと
　　いいかもしれません。

　　ナイスな改造が出来たら　メールなどで教えて。俺にも遊ばせてください。

　　改造とか一切してないものは好きにコピーして配布しちゃって結構結構。



rough translation:

Disclaimer / Copyright / Redistribution

  Soft (as in simple, easy) stuff.

    This game is "for everyone's fun", and it's soft stuff.

    if you redistribute modified or changed version, that's
    OK. Modification is fun!  It might be better to note down the
    places of modification and the name of the person who modified it
    in a location which is obvious.

    If you could make a cool modification, please tell me via mail or
    other means. Let me enjoy your modifications too.

    If you have not done any modifications, you can freely distribute
    without problems.


regards,
