READ ME : Modifications to PlaneShift client and server
« on: April 22, 2012, 05:44:09 pm »
For modders and developers in the PlaneShift community:

We encourage you to experiment with mods and changes to either our source code and to our art assets. PlaneShift is an open source project, based on community contributions, and made to ensure people can learn from what we made, and we can learn from them.

We create and package our files in such a way to be editable by players and modders, including sounds, configs, icons and items. The UI is made to be skinnable and changed with ease.

The license will be enforced only if we see abuse of our assets and art (example reuse in different projects, making illegal profit out of our art, etc...).

For modders and developers outside the PlaneShift community:

If you want to reuse PlaneShift for another project or you want to use it commercially, please remember the following. Code is under GPL license, this means you can get all our source code, study it and reuse it in any way you want as long as you keep it open (GPL) and give back to us your changes.

All artwork, musics, dialogues, stories, names, 3d models, etc... are under a proprietary license. This means you cannot reuse those in any way without our explicit permission. If you plan to create another game based on our source code, remember you will have to redo all art,music,models,stories,etc...

You cannot host another server where PlaneShift Clients connects to, because our license on assets forbits it.

You can find the full license here.
