The code is published under the GNU GPLv2 + license. By the way, this game in 2013 was ported to Android.

True, the free license does not apply to game data (apparently, graphics and music), which must be separately licensed.

The code is written in the Borland C ++ 2.0 environment, but should compile normally in versions up to 3.1.
