Carving Tools do not work on modded stone. #1

Open irihuman opened 5 years ago

irihuman commented 5 years ago

The carving tools do not work on modded stone variants, mostly affected is the "Underground Biomes" mod which adds many types of new stone and basically almost completely replaces regular stone making this tool almost useless when used alongside Underground Biomes.

Underground Biomes is under the GPL2 which is incompatible with the GPL3 (what this mod is under) I'd need permission from whoever created the assets in order to make derivative assets. I'm not sure who that is. Original commit for them is from a github user named "Sarah" who appears to no longer be active.

@Aang23, do you know who I would need to ask for permission to release modifications of the underground biome's stone textures under the GPL3?

Aang23 commented 5 years ago

Well... No. The last one I can think of is kyeiti (Zeno gave him the lead of the mod when he ported it to 1.12.2), but that's currently not an option. Zeno is nowhere to be found as well. I don't really know how those kind of things where handled in the past with UBC, though I really don't think prior authors would mind their textures getting reused. Kreezxil or asiekierka may have more infos than me, but I really don't think so.

I might be the one who could give you the appropriate permission today (and I think I am), but I have no way of being sure but asking to long-inactive mod devs.

Though worst case scenario, those textures only could be kept under GPL2 I guess?

SirLyle commented 5 years ago

So digging back through the commit history it appears there was no license when the assets were committed; the license was added by @kyeiti so I think its his permission I need (if Zeno handed the project over to him without restrictions).

@Kyeiti is Underground Biomes under "GPL2 only" or "GPL2 or later versions"?

Aang23 commented 5 years ago

kyeiti is busy with other things atm and probably isn't coming back to modding any time soon. But since kyeiti gave the lead of the project to Kreezxil who then let me take over, I'm pretty sure to be the one to ask now. Then, I don't mind those textures being reused under a GPL3 license at all, go ahead! See https://github.com/Aang23/UndergroundBiomesConstructs/issues/27 and https://github.com/kyeiti/UndergroundBiomesConstructs/issues/40 Also Zeno did hand the project over to kyeiti (after all Zeno's work still was a fork).
