BotC project license #19

Closed TarCV closed 4 years ago

TarCV commented 4 years ago

Looks like the original Botc license is the 3-Clause BSD License. Although it is modified and mentions only the author instead of "the copyright holder and contributors". So I don't think that exact text can be used for this (or other) forks. cc: @so-sleepy adding you as you're talking with Torr about using this botc fork in Zandronum build process.

@crimsondusk Hi. Is it ok for you if I change the license text to match 3 clause BSD, or just add copyright holder and project contributors wording to your license text?

Look at this file: https://github.com/TarCV/botc/blob/bf3ff9deece8447fc3d3802c1e2e6c2b395536de/src/botStuff.h. He lists the contributors to the code there.

It's fine. I originally had a template that had a placeholder for the name of authors in that spot, so I just filled it with a generic "the author". Good to know that there's a more widely used text. It's supposed to be standard 3-clause BSD.

botstuff.h has Skulltag license because it's originally pulled from Skulltag. I don't know if a pile of constant declarations is copyrightable in the first place and it's rewritten anyway, but I played it safe nonetheless.

Thank you by the way for fixing this thing up!

I've proposed license fixes in #20. @crimsondusk, @so-sleepy could you please check if they are ok?

ghost commented 4 years ago

All ok for me.

I've merged the PR. @crimsondusk fill free to file an issue if the changes are not ok.
