The README states the source came from https://github.com/historicalsource/defender https://github.com/historicalsource/defender. "A collection of historical source files, for education and perusal." Which begs the question, where did Historical Source get it? Alas, there is no indication.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoDoesn’t Williams own the rights to it, or whoever bought Williams in the 1990s?
- koz1000 5y agoA number of ex-Williams engineers donated old work materials to the Strong Museum of Play in the last few years. It looks like this includes Sam Dicker's work: http://archives.museumofplay.org/repositories/3/resources/228 http://archives.museumofplay.org/repositories/3/resources/22... So perhaps it was scanned and distributed from there? Seems unlikely since the code was either printed on paper or stored on old 8" floppies from the development system. But you never know. EDIT: looking at Historical Source's repo, they have a LOT of old Williams IP here. This was copied from someone's development machine somewhere.
- greggman3 5y agoI'm curious too. At glance there is no license in either repo. The game is still sold commercially I believe in various forms.
