-License:
- Liero is freeware. What that means is that you don't have to pay for it and
- using it has not been restricted in any way. You may distribute it to anyone
- and anyhow WITHOUT ANY CHANGES MADE TO IT'S CONTAINMENTS.
- The source code of this game is not distributed freely (neither commercially).
- So if you thought that maybe you could... forget it.
- .
- I (Martin) contacted Joosa Riekkinen ("MetsänEläimet") over IRC and inquired
- about this license:
- .
- 01:16 < mewerner_arand> Asked here a while ago, and were told to ask you joosa:
- 01:16 < mewerner_arand> How is the license for the Liero data files to be
- interpreted? Does the "distribute it to anyone and anyhow WITHOUT ANY CHANGES
- MADE TO IT'S CONTAINMENTS" mean the individual files or the zip archive itself?
- 01:16 <@joosa> none
- 01:16 <@joosa> it's more or lesspublic domain fffs
- 01:16 <@joosa> and I don't care
- 01:17 < mewerner_arand> Yes, I've gotten that impression.
- 01:17 <@joosa> don't bother me with licenses ever again! :P
- 01:17 <@joosa> the answer is, the readme doesn't apply anymore
- 01:17 < mewerner_arand> But I'm thinking of having a shot at packaging it for
- Debian, in which case there actaully needs to be some written word..
- 01:18 <@joosa> yeah well
- 01:19 <@joosa> should be enough when I say it's public domain
- 01:19 <@joosa> sorry I can't be arsed with legal stuff right now
- 01:20 < mewerner_arand> So it's basically the case that the copyright was
- assigned to the openliero/liero project, which in turn released it as PD..
- 01:21 <@joosa> I gave away the rights long ago
- 01:21 <@joosa> 10 years ago?
- 01:21 <@joosa> it was never written down
- 01:21 < mewerner_arand> o_O that's a while :)
- 01:22 <@joosa> well that's how long I've been hanging around here
- 01:23 < mewerner_arand> Well, that should be enough, thanks!
- 01:24 <@joosa> lol, if that is enough I'm surprised by sloppines of debian
- legal team
- 01:26 < mewerner_arand> Hmm, maybe.. but you said I shouldn't bug you now! ;)
- 01:26 < mewerner_arand> Would another time be better?
- 01:27 <@joosa> well I'll write another license text for liero sometime
- 01:29 < mewerner_arand> Just slapping cc-0 or wtfpl on in might be the quick
- way.

+ I wrote the license for SMIX a long time ago, before there was a lot of
+ awareness of the varieties of open source licenses (I was also 15).
+ .
+ I believe the BSD and MIT licenses permit use, copying, and modification,
+ in either source and compiled form, by third parties as long as credit is
+ given to the original author?
+ .
+ Yes, that is acceptable to me. Let's go with the "3-clause modified BSD
+ license", plus the request for donation for use in commercial products.
+ .
+ Just out of curiosity, what are you using it for?  I haven't received any
+ email about SMIX for probably five years now...
