Crystal Blue on disk?

[dannythompson]

perhaps someone could use a computer with a really high connection speed (or even a personal server if they have one) to host planeshift. then the community could donate money if they want (it would be bad form if he recieved no money for his help)

A possible solution is to give it away, however, charge three dollars US for shipping and handling.   It would avert the whole selling concept and if someone can ship it for less then they can go ahead and do so.  That way, the person doing the good service wouldn\'t be out the shipping.  

I doubt anyone would do this to make money anyways.

i think the point was that they dont want you to write the things to cd and distribute them at all. selling them is way outta league.

How would hosting it on a high speed server help 56k-ers download it faster?

[Fish]

Hosting it on a high speed server probably wouldn\'t help because the bottle neck is the modem. All internet traffic slows down to the slowest point of transfer.

it would help by having a server that is not swamped by bandwith. it wouldnt be needed long, only after the first 3 weeks of CB\'s release. It may be \"bottle necked\" at the 56k part, but it would if fragnetics went down or the fragnetics got swamped from DLs.

**edit** also it would be nice to have a dedicated bittorrent host, as most people might close thier torrents when they are done. this may not always be on purpose, but just out of habit or accident.

If needed I can host this on my website without the wait at one site and the not-workingness of the other.

leave the file downloading overnight for a couple of days. i can do 1 GB in a week on 56K.

My company Get most of its profit by gathering opensource programs, then put it together into one box(cd). This we Sell. though we does not sell The programs. We sell the time we use to do it. Ie: we use 10 hours to plan and find which progs the customer need. then 5 hours to download them. then burn it out on cd. This we take 500 - 1500$ for.

This is NOT illegal. Neither is it to sell a cd with Planeshift Cb. (if you charges for the Cd, shipment and Time used).

havent you been listening? the whole point is that planeshift isnt just another game. its got its own specific lisense which says that it shall not have the art distributed or sold for any reason. even if they are non malicious. just face it, no way of distrubuting this unless you go through tons of paper work. and what your work does may not be completely legal in the first place.

[Andycornell]

Well, about my Company, it is legal. About burning the cd on a cd then send it to another guy, taking payed for shipment, and Time used to download (this can be, if not legal by licens, be hided under \"rent of Hardware\" or \"rent of human service\".
You can Sell an opensource program which is licensed under The GNU, but, if you do, you must give the customer the same rights. (easy explaining. read It yourself. I will look up the Gnu licens soon, but got no time now)

Edit: i have read all planeshift licens a cuple of times now. and found out that I was Partly wrong. I wasent complete aware that the Art was Custom licens. This would make the Sending of a cd, partly ilegal. If i Distrobuted the Gnu code though...

Anyway. By leting people Download it trough bittorrent. All who do (expect the devs) would do illegal things. Cause you share it while download it.

[Zeraph]

Actually if the Dev\'s made a slight change in the license it would be legal, like the art can be distributed freely but not used to make any other content or derivative work.. actually this is something like what I expected the license to say.

I sort of was under the impression that the Dev\'s wer going to allocate a couple of people to seed some Turrets (@ least I remember reading something like that) but I can\'t remember were & can\'t find it now... only the Dev\'s themselves can tell us for sure on this matter however...

Edit: oh ya, like this matters but I think this is a duplicate topic because I remember something like this a while ago.. same exact thing wanting ppl to mail CDs or something like a \"Box Version\"

DO you have any idea how long this would take? months maybe years.

[Moogie]

Who said it will ever happen? The devs are perfectly happy with their current liscense as it is.
