Licensing changes #34

Closed Wyvest closed 3 weeks ago

Wyvest commented 3 weeks ago

The code in this repository currently has a license of "LGPL-3.0". Although great for libraries (such as OneConfig) where they may be used in proprietary projects, Polyfrost as an organization believes strongly in keeping our code free and open source to everyone; keeping our mods under the LGPL-3.0 leaves them vulnerable to malicious entities (e.g clients) simply ripping features from them. To protect our code from such usage and continue maintaining our code for no price, we would like to use a more copyleft license.

Hence, we want to relicense this repository, including your code, under a compatible license. The license we are choosing is version 3 of the GNU General Public License, ALONGSIDE the "MINECRAFT" LINKING EXCEPTION TO THE GPL, which is linked here.

"MINECRAFT" LINKING EXCEPTION TO THE GPL

Linking this mod statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
combined work based on this mod. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
General Public License cover the whole combination.

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of this mod give you
permission to combine this mod with free software programs or libraries that
are released under the GNU LGPL and with code included in the standard release
of Minecraft under All Rights Reserved (or modified versions of such code, with
unchanged license). You may copy and distribute such a system following the
terms of the GNU GPL for this mod and the licenses of the other code concerned.

Note that people who make modified versions of this mod are not obligated to
grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is their choice
whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives permission to release a
modified version without this exception; this exception also makes it possible
to release a modified version which carries forward this exception.

If you are mentioned below, we need your help to relicense this repository, as you are a copyright holder of your contributed code.

@sinender @jacobk999 @walkerselby @Cephetir @MicrocontrollersDev @momenazhar @ThatGravyBoat I made an oversight and forgot that GPL 3.0 is incompatible with Minecraft by default. Please read over the issue again, and comment accordingly. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you to everyone who helped! We've gotten all the comments we need and I am about to relicense this project to the GPL with the MC exception. Thank you!
