Discussion on MyPlane license...

[Chucki]

I think having a more positive attitude from those projects building off PlaneShift's code could help speed things towards being more openly licensed in this area. Constant mudslinging will not encourage a man to pass you a share of his diamonds.

Personally, I don't see why something unrelated to the main codebase must be open source, and certainly, coming on the forums with snide remarks about the licensing of the new content will not help the situation.

On topic: I'm very impressed with MyPlane, it's certainly elevated PlaneShift to another level. A welcome addition to the community, for sure. It's certainly a solid base to build from, and it's already rather functional.

opensource doesn't mean either just take it all and don't contribute back which is what I’m seeing lately

congrats on becoming even more closed source, got to love how "Open" planeshift has become


[other comment]
of course not, everything we have done webpage, psjpersitance ect is open source. You can take any of the stuff we have done and use it.

I've seen no thought about doing that for the engine which is the product which is involved in the contributing back. additionally myplane is a server page which like other services wasn't made opensource ever and the developer agreed to it. so stop humiliating yourself with this farce please.

Botanic, PlaneShift contributed to the open source world a lot, by creating a very nice open source client/server system for mmorpgs. I think the amount of man hours contributed are exceptional, and we are very proud of this contribution.

If we decide to keep closed our art or other parts of the game it's our choice, and I don't see how this is making us "bad" or "closed" or any other other nasty comments you have as usual for us.

In any case our mission is not to save the world with open source, but it's to build a game, free for players, which we enjoy creating. Like it or not, we decide what to share and how, it's our work.
