There is no apparent license stated on this repository, and with no express permission from Eloraam this appears to be a breach of copyright. The copyright notice states: (link)

Minecraft EULA will soon change and ANY mod will belong mojang, nobody cares

I just feel that redpower, especially being such an awesome mod you should respect the author's wishes.

ga2mer commented 10 years ago

I would have none of it did (although I do not do that), but Eloraam can not release an update to 1.6 or higher

And it's not a bug or enhancement, it's flood, the notice about license. Because this is very usefull to decompile and explore the code. And this means that we probably will have new interesting mods which of course is better than some "license".

P.S. “RedPower” and “Eloraam” are >>trademarks<< of Eloraam. How much is it to buy? XD

Hey, way there ever even a try to release RedPower 2 for 1.5.2+ by anybody?
