Evennia Licence
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Evennia is licensed under the very friendly *Modified Clarified Artistic
|
|
License*. You can find the license as ``LICENCE`` in the Evennia root
|
|
directory. You can also read the full license file
|
|
`here <http://code.google.com/p/evennia/source/browse/trunk/LICENSE>`_.

|
Licence FAQ
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You should read the full license file to know what it says exactly, but
|
|
here are some answers to common questions.
|
|
|
|
Q: I have created a game using Evennia, what does the license allow me
|
|
to do with it?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
**A:** It's your own world to do with what you please! In summary, a
|
|
MU``*`` world you create using Evennia (i.e. the files you create in
|
|
``game``) falls under **§6** of the license (it's a sort of "library").
|
|
So your game world and all its contents belongs to you (as it should
|
|
be). 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 Evennia package itself (i.e. the stuff you download from us)
|
|
is referred to as "The Package", "Standard version" in the license.
|
|
|
|
- If you just fixed a typo or bug, that falls under **§2** - that is,
|
|
you don't *have* to do anything to appease the license. Regardless,
|
|
we'd of course appreciate it if you submitted bugs/fixes to us so
|
|
Evennia becomes more complete!.
|
|
- If you made other modifications or added new features to the server,
|
|
that's also ok, but falls under **§3** - you must make a clear note
|
|
of the changes as well as put the changes into the public domain or
|
|
make separate arrangements with us (since it's then no longer a
|
|
"Standard version"). Of course, if you plan to add new features to
|
|
the server, the easiest way to do so is to simply become an Evennia
|
|
developer!
|
|
|
|
Q: Can I re-distribute Evennia along with my custom game implementation?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
**A:** Sure. This is covered in **§4** - just package the "Standard
|
|
version" (that is, the one you download from us) with your package. Make
|
|
sure to include the original license and disclaimers and note where
|
|
users may get it if they want to download it of their own.
