The MIT licence in LICENSE covers what is actually ours in this repository:
the host, the tools, the setup script and the documentation. It does NOT
cover MechCommander 2 itself.

MechCommander 2 is (c) Microsoft Corporation; MechCommander and BattleTech
are trademarks of their current owners. It is not ours to license. Its
executable, DLLs, debug symbols, data archives and movies are not in this
repository and are excluded by .gitignore.

Microsoft's 2006 source release
-------------------------------
This repo contains no code, data, symbols or art from the game or from
Microsoft's 2006 shared-source release. That release is under the "Shared
Source Limited Permissive License for use of MechCommander 2", which requires
derivative source to be distributed only under that license (section 3(E))
and bars commercial use of its art (section 3(A)). It is therefore
incompatible with this repo's MIT license, and contributors must not read it
while working here. File formats and behaviour are worked out from the retail
game and non-code documentation only. The retail debug symbols (MC2REL.PDB)
are used locally to name functions and are never committed, and nothing
generated from them is committed either.

Consequences
------------
  * You need your own copy of the game. Setup.cmd copies your disc into
    game/; the pipeline reads it from there.

  * Lifted code is a derivative work of the binary it came from. Anything
    this pipeline emits into work/ or src/recomp/gen/ carries whatever
    licence the original carries, not this one. The MIT grant stops at our
    own work.

This repository carries no third-party code. The toolkit, pcrecomp, is a
separate checkout beside this one and keeps its own licence.
