I take it that the descriptions in Civ II are copyrighted?  Just wondering how
that works, exactly, since it's legal to clone it, yet seems to be illegal to
use exact text in some cases.

Anyway, it's pretty much a moot point, since I don't have the game.  I'll
probably just put together some info from a couple encyclopedias.
