Category: Client Group: Latest Subversion >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Geoff Topping (geoffthemedio) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Licence Version? Initial Comment: On the forums, Tyreth wrote: >Note to artists: We will be using the 2.5 version of >this license, not the 2.0. However, the COPYING file in C:\FreeOrion\default and in-game License page in the FO releases says: >The artwork (images, sounds, music, etc.) is licensed >under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike 2.0 >license. >(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) This should probably be corrected, and I'm disinclined to do so myself for legal matters such as this. I pmed Tyreth, but he didn't respond. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Geoff Topping (geoffthemedio) Date: 2006-03-20 23:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=913462 It looks like this change has been made... http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/freeorion/trunk/FreeOrion/default/COPYING?r1=1818&r2=1819 How did you resolve your concerns before doing this, Dennis? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dennis Brakhane (dennis) Date: 2006-03-07 05:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26932 INANAL, but legally, we probably cannot change the license in this way, we would need consent of every author. OTOH, the changes are minimal, and we cannot enforce the license in court unless we get written permission by every copyright holder. Frankly, I think nobody cares ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544942&aid=1444621&group_id=75752 |
