Licensing Ask #5

Closed msparkles closed 2 years ago

msparkles commented 2 years ago

What is the license for the code (and maybe the assets)? I'm planning on porting the mod to Fabric + using Kotlin, and most of the code will have the same signature and naming. What is the license for your stuff? What should I add as Author?

DracoNocte commented 2 years ago

Hello @Mg138! According to the mod page on CurseForge, the license seems to be MIT. Since I'm not part of the dev team, I recommend that you wait for an official answer or that you contact directly the mod owner concerning that matter.

Dark-Arcana commented 2 years ago

I would strongly recommend against any porting right now as this will be greatly rewritten soon and may even include a fabric release.

msparkles commented 2 years ago

it's already ported, rewritten as you may expect, and using some datagen fuckery it's under MIT iirc

Dark-Arcana commented 2 years ago

Can you link it for me?

Oh, I also discarded a few features, as they're either broken or so badly written I can't make sense of it. But the chemicals are all there

This is true. I'm currently completely rewriting Alchemistry because it's in a poor state. I will be rewriting ChemLib too. When I do start that rewrite, I am indeed changing the license from MIT to something slightly more restrictive. Open source still of course.

Good luck, I could give a hand if you'd like.

Dark-Arcana commented 2 years ago

ChemLib is currently licensed "All Right Reserved" which means technically you can't make a modified copy or distribute it. I'm looking into changing the licenses to make that possible, but with a caveat about publishing to anywhere (CurseForge). I would only want high quality code and someone I can work with to be able to publish. For now, I'm going to decide that there shouldn't be any publicly distributed forks of ChemLib. I just wanted to let you know.

If you want to work together on a Fabric port, join the Discord.

Eh.. Where's the Discord?

Nvm, googled the project Smashing Mods and found it
