In this branch we start the process of do a complete conquer relicensing of conquer to GPL v3.
so the free software community can keep the history of legacy games like conquer alive.

I have included the original emails where Ed Barlow and Adam Bryant gave consent to the relicense, and have modified the old notices with new ones while keeping attributtion and links to the originals.

Notice that spew.c has been rewritten to avoid a GPL incompatible notice.
Additionally the code from 1989 by Richard Caley that was GPL compatible has been relicensed to GPL v3 while maintaining proper attribution.

I hope that you like it.

PS: I will be emailing Ed and Adam so they are aware of it, I am hoping they keep the last emails where I could contact them with in 2011 and 2016.
