In his quest to find those responsible for +slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the +corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby +den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his +fellow rabbits from slavery. + +## History + +Lugaru was originally developed by David Rosen of [Wolfire Games](http://www.wolfire.com) +and was [open sourced in 2010](http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source). +It was made cross-platform with the help of [Ryan C. Gordon](http://icculus.org). + +Various forks were made at that time, and the most interesting developments +were put back together under the OSS Lugaru organization, originally on +[Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/lugaru) and then on +[Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/osslugaru/lugaru). + +This new repository on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/osslugaru/lugaru) is run +by the same team, and aims at revitalizing the development effort to clean +things up, ensuring the code base builds and runs fine on all supported +platforms, and easing the packaging of Lugaru in Linux distributions. + +Ideally, the updated code base could also be used to update the Lugaru HD +version sold by Wolfire Games once proven better than the current commercial +builds. + +## Compiling + +See the `COMPILING.txt` for compilation instructions on all supported +platforms. + +## Licensing + +The source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 +or (at your option) any later version (GPLv2+). + +The assets (campaigns, graphical and audio assets, etc.) are distributed +under various licenses (CC-BY-SA 3.0 and Freeware) as described in the +`CONTENT-LICENSE.txt` file. + +The third party dependencies of the `Dependencies` folder are distributed +under their respective licenses.
