seriesumei commented 5 years ago

This is the first in a set of license clarification and cleanup PRs...

CC-By-3.0
- put the plaincode text version in Licenses/
Update sources and readme for CMFF Templates, re-export as PNG
Remove Skins/Skin, Splendor by Sezmra as it includes a non-commercial clause that is incompatible with AGPL.
Rename skin directories to a consistent format and include references
Re-export JPG files as PNG
Put PNG files into subdirectories

"Skin, Splendor by Sezmra " is allowed. AGPL is commercial, too. Skins are not a part of the AGPL license for the mesh body or scripts.

Fred, My concern with Sezmra's skin is she does not allow commercial use while the rest of Ruth/Roth (AGPL) does. I worry that mixing licenses like this is dangerous because now someone who wants to re-package Ruth in-world and add other things to it must know to look (which you should anyway!) and not include Sezmra's skin. That is the incompatibility with GPL and distribution and specific non-commercial clauses. I would rather move most of the skins to a separate repo anyway but that is a different conversation...

I have renamed the skin directories to be consistent and included readme files. I was thinking about removing the jpg files and including new png exports for at least a handful of variations, thoughts?

AdaRadius commented 5 years ago

Yes to png. I have fashionable underwear, leftovers from a contract I did last summer which I don't think I've uploaded. I'll put them together with the Starlight skins and donate them.

I'm going to stop here, I've re-exported the PSD files to update the XCF files with Gimp 2.10 and replaced JPG with PNG where possible...
