+
+The mudpy project employs the ISC license, a permissive free
+software license written by the Internet Systems Consortium and
+functionally equivalent to the 2-clause BSD license. Initially used
+for the ISC's own software releases, it has since become the
+preferred license of many projects (OpenBSD, for example).
