Missing source folder? #3

Closed johnwicksm closed 3 years ago

johnwicksm commented 3 years ago

The source folder appears to be missing from the github repo. There's only a PICS folder, readme, and license.

AJMix commented 3 years ago

The mod is currently not open source.

That's not up to you, if you used GPL code, your code is GPL, GPL allows anyone who has access to the software to access the code, and doesn't allow anyone to deny you that right. Add the code or take down the mod.

I like chocolate chip pancakes and devs who don't steal code.

Hi.

I'm sorry, but this must be addressed for your own sake @AJMix. I have no bad intentions, just giving you facts about this issue.

Your project license is GNU/GPLv3, as the LICENSE file says.

This is what GitHub says about GPLv3: Permissions of this strong copyleft license are conditioned on making available complete source code of licensed works and modifications, which include larger works using a licensed work, under the same license. Copyright and license notices must be preserved. Contributors provide an express grant of patent rights.

As section 6 dictates:

 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, **provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License**,
in one of these ways:
[...]

Not releasing the source code may be problematic for you, because:

I'm sure you're plenty of good intentions, and i don't want you to stop doing what you're doing. Just cover yourself man. I'm pretty sure your plugin will gain more popularity if you open-source it. People may help you, providing PRs, etc.

Just my two cents.
