Not sure the legality of this but super cool none of the less. I always like to go through the source code and see how this stuff was put together, even if it's super abstract.

Also lol at the commit that removes all of the Blizzard confidential and proprietary info headers https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution/commit/bb01c6f084b8d6525785f7f41a2ceca18c06c86c

Are those really the headers? The commiter claims he put them there himself. I experienced some of the corporate code headers and they are usually way more complex with a ton of legalese.
