I'm working on a Linux project and I really like NetRunner and was
wondering if anyone knew what its license was. I've seen somewhere
that MysticBBS was open sourced, but I don't really know if that
applies to NetRunner just because the software is on their site.

Mystic BBS was open source at one time. It is closed source now. I
don't know about the license for netrunner. Does the docs say?

I can't find anything about a license anywhere. And just because it's
free doesn't necessarily mean they would want it redistributed. I just
wanted to check first. If they had used SDL1.2 (LGPL) instead, then it
would probably have been ok, but because it's SDL2 (zlib license) and
there's no meantioning of a license for NetRunner itself, it seems as
though it's anyone's guess.

The beauty of it is that James is pretty responsive to questions. He
sometimes drops out of sight for a few months for rl stuff but he
always let's us know before he drops out. You can send him email too
if you want.

Should have asked this a while back, but do you know how I can get
into contact with him? I've been working on some things and have been
putting it off.

I believe that James's email is mysticbbs@gmail.com.
