Evennia License FAQ
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Evennia is licensed under the very friendly
|
|
`BSD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license>`_ (3-clause) license.
|
|
You can find the license as ``LICENSE.txt`` in the Evennia root
|
|
directory. You can also read the full license file
|
|
`here <http://code.google.com/p/evennia/source/browse/LICENSE.txt>`_
|
|
(it's not long).
|
|
|
|
Q: When creating a game using Evennia, what does the license permit me to do with it?
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**A:** It's your own game world to do with as you please! Keep it to
|
|
yourself or re-distribute it under any license of your choice - or sell
|
|
it and become filthy rich for all we care.
|
|
|
|
Q: I have modified Evennia itself, what does the license say about that?
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**A:** The BSD license allows you to do whatever you want with your
|
|
modified Evennia, including re-distributing or selling it, as long as
|
|
you include our license and copyright info in the ``LICENSE.txt`` file
|
|
along with your distribution.
|
|
|
|
... Of course, if you make bug fixes or add some new snazzy feature we
|
|
*softly nudge* you to make those changes available so they can be added
|
|
to the core Evennia package for everyone's benefit. The license don't
|
|
require you to do it, but that doesn't mean we can't still greatly
|
|
appreciate it if you do!
|
|
|
|
Q: Can I re-distribute the Evennia server package along with my custom game implementation?
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**A:** Sure. As long as the text in LICENSE.txt is included.
|
|
|
|
Q: What about Contributions?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The contributions in ``evennia/contrib`` are considered to be released
|
|
under the same license as Evennia itself unless the individual
|
|
contributor has specifically defined otherwise.
