Personally from what I have ever played in my life ADOM is like the only game there game advice/info was ever considered to be under copyright. All credits to that practice goes to Mr. Andy Williams I guess.
In all others it goes as "you don't want to get stuff copied and used you don't post it" type of license.
It is also like one of very few who divide known info into clean/unclean. In Civ4 for example code reading goes left and right [code is rather easy to read at least surface parts]
does not seem to be much of trouble for anyone.

Under best traditions of ADOM i guarantee that any posts of mine/blogs of mine/ guides of mine are under copyright which you are not permitted to use.
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
