# Optional Ringbearer original archive

The final Windows download includes `extras/Ringbearer-original.zip` as an
optional, unchanged copy of the complete nine-file local Ringbearer distribution.
Ringbearer Medium v1.00 is © Pete Klassen, 2002. All rights reserved.
Archive SHA-256: `1a400cd55ece1ce992229ee167e1297c1e6373682d10ef309f8742f5b8d3d13b`.
`assets/FONT-MANIFEST.json` records every member's size and SHA-256. The original
English and German READMEs and all companion files remain inside the archive.

The author's English README permits distribution free of charge only with the
complete contents of the original archive. It limits use to private use and
prohibits commercial use and modification. Ringbearer is based on the Lord of
the Rings logo; the README separately credits © 2001–2003 New Line Cinema and
Wingnut Films. Read the original README inside the archive for the actual terms.

This optional archive is not covered by the engine or other code licenses. Its
inclusion does not assert permission to use the font in a publicly distributed
game, commercial project, or embedded font payload. There is no automatic
extraction, installation, embedding or loading. The application uses a system
font by default; any private font selection is the user's separate choice.
The code-only CI base contains this notice and manifest, not the font archive.
