MeatMUD's source code is based upon Merc1.0, and is modified by Jason Moras (Jazz), Waylan Johnson (Eldred), and Robert Ziegler (Seuss). Merc Industries, the writers of Merc1.0, is a non-profit organization that distributes their free software. The original MUD idea, concept, and design was created at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. This creation was called Diku-Mud, and so started an incredibly addictive game that seems to have drawn us all in.

In the future, I'd like to get links to both DIKU and Merc Industries, and have downloadable source codes from both. Also, after MeatMUD's code is more perfected, it will be displayed here for other Implementors and Coders to browse through and hopefully get some new ideas that they might have had trouble with on their own.
