X3 is open source software; the source is available for download under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License, commonly known as the GNU GPL.

The official X3 web site is available at http://github.com/evilnet/x3/

X3 responds to the following signals:

SIGINT (Ctrl-C) - Save database and exit SIGQUIT (Ctrl-) - Save database only SIGHUP - Rehash (reload configuration) SIGCHLD - Reap child processes

Support:

There are several conditions under which we WILL NOT support your use of these services. (The license may permit such uses, but we do not wish to encourage them.)

Specifically:

• Use under Windows. X3 can work to some extent under the Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) environment, but Windows as a whole departs significantly from standard APIs and is difficult to support.

• Alteration of credits. If you change the credits in your version of the code so as to obscure the original authorship of the program, we will not support you. If you want to use our code -- especially if you want us to answer your questions about it -- do the decent thing and preserve the credits that are in the code we distribute.

In addition, please read the documentation included in the X3 distribution before you ask us for support. The answers to many common questions related to installation are in the INSTALL file, for example. It saves both our time and your time, so please read the documentation.
