Subject: M1 installer Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 18:42:59 -0500 From: "Mathew Nelson" To: david@solin.net Hi David, First, very impressive work on M1. However, it's a violation of the license agreement to reverse engineer Robocode, or to modify it. The existence of M1 shows the first, and the fact that the installer modifies robocode.jar violates the second. Personally, it's the latter that concerns me most. I do realize that you aren't doing this malicously, but the installer is in fact installing a backdoor cheat into the game. As a home experiment, all in good fun... but when the cheat is installed on other people's systems, it becomes something else. Therefore, I must ask you in good faith to stop distributing the M1 installer. However, I encourage you to keep finding those bugs. :) Thank you, Mat ------------------------------------------------------------ Mathew Nelson Internet Technology - Robocode matn@us.ibm.com ------------------------------------------------------------
