This file was created by Quest. He is credited at the end of the scroll.tap

Oh, thank you. I'll credit this person as an author of this file. Does he/she has a real name or is it a secret?

ghost commented 3 years ago

I looked at scroll sources and found that information you mentioned is in the file string.asm. I noticed a large list of contributors to ZX-Uno project there. I see the developers of the ZX-Uno were interested in crediting everyone who has contributed and helped this project to appear in real hardware. My respect for that! I also think it's important to mention every one, at least it's a pleasure to know that your work helped someone else. Unfortunately this list consists of many abstract nicknames without real names. Who knows - do they really exist? (I believe they do, but knowing only a nickname may be confusing - different people can have the same nickname in Internet and they can have different relation to this project and even hate it)

(Who knows - may be one day a game developer will see his/her work and will try to contact him/her for further cooperation.)

I explain. The list of contributors is a list of people who participate into the crowdfunding. We launched a crowdfunding of about 250 ZX-Unos through verkami: https://www.verkami.com/projects/14074-zx-uno So these guys are credited there, but they are not developers. It's an easteg egg (this list is hidden into the zx spectrum core) and we put the nick that they agreed. Note that some of them decided to put their complete names.

The real name of Quest is "Samuel Baselga"

Good. So, should I assume CC-BY-SA-4.0 International for all unsigned artwork?

ghost commented 3 years ago

...I'm still waiting for the answer, then I'll proceed further with automation of build process.

antoniovillena commented 3 years ago

sorry. Yes, use CC-BY-SA-4.0 for all unsigned artwork

ghost commented 3 years ago

Good.
