Dominion Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 i feel this should be taken care of before we see it on every site like we did mccodes "it has no copyright only lite does". grpg is/was a paid engine can anyone show us definitive proof that it is now a free engine under GNU/GPL ? untill then this is and should be treated as a paid engine in my opinion. anyway just me wondering :) Quote
monoxide Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 i searched the copyright directory and couldn't find anything related to grpg, generic rpg or anything of the sorts Quote
Haunted Dawg Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Once a script/image/etc is created by the "creator" a copyright is automaticly enabled upon that product for that creator. No where does it need to be in the copyright directory. But if you do put your product's in the copyright directory, it help's you (The "creator" of the product) to file DMCA Take Down notice's.

a_bertrand Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Even if the site went down that doesn't mean the script went to the public domain. Therefore for me this script is still a proprietary script even if it is not possible anymore to buy it. Quote
rulerofzu Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I would suggest anyone that wishes clarification on the status of this script try contacting [email protected] Who is the holder of the copyright for the engine. Quote
a_bertrand Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Sent him an email, let's see if he answer. Quote
monoxide Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 well, concidering the fact it's been 2 weeks since the email, i'm guessing he doesnt care Quote
a_bertrand Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Indeed he didn't answered, but that still doesn't put the code under public domain. In the worse case (where he will never answer) it will be impossible to purchase new licenses, but you will still not be allowed to copy / share the engine. Quote
srachit Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 But alain I think it would be allowed to buy one copy from a person who owns one, then that person wouldnt have rights to the that copy and couldnt sell it again and the new person could either make a game or sell the engine again. Quote
a_bertrand Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Sure you should be able to transfer the license... remains to be seen if this was allowed originally or not. Quote
Dunno Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Here something about GRPG. sourceforge.net/users/myneocorp It was Register as Open Source. Cant find the files in sourceforge.net/users/myneocorp Quote
Dave Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Here something I found. He Register at this place called sourceforge.net/users/myneocorp and I cant find the files. Found the project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genericrpg/ Seems he did release it under the GPL licence, well if this is him. Also seems like the project was abandoned almost 5 years ago ' Last Update: 2007-04-16' Quote
URBANZ Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 it looks like he was going to release it as open source but decided against it as it was posted in 2007 so to me the engine has to be paid still Quote
skooda Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 It seems grpg is becoming very popular and its being use freely. I guess its ok the owner nor developers havent spoken for it so... Quote
Djkanna Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 It seems grpg is becoming very popular and its being use freely. I guess its ok the owner nor developers havent spoken for it so... That doesn't make using it freely okay, just because the owner hasn't spoken up. (maybe he has, just not here or doesn't even know that people are sharing his/her work freely...) Quote
URBANZ Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 It seems grpg is becoming very popular and its being use freely. I guess its ok the owner nor developers havent spoken for it so... ok so to your logic if i used an unlicensed Photoshop or McCodes for example and Adobe or Dabs/CB didnt say anything can i use it for nothing i dont think so it is still illegal to use the program/script without the owners permissions and yes just because the script is freely downloadable on nulled websites dont mean you automatically get a valid licence. read here because clearly you dont get the concept of what nulled means http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_Nulled_script Quote
lucky3809 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Found the project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genericrpg/ Seems he did release it under the GPL licence, well if this is him. Also seems like the project was abandoned almost 5 years ago ' Last Update: 2007-04-16' It was FREE to get the engine from that link I have the copy that i got a couple years back, when the link was working. The license WAS under GPL!! Quote
URBANZ Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 It was FREE to get the engine from that link I have the copy that i got a couple years back, when the link was working. The license WAS under GPL!! no offence but sourceforge says different http://sourceforge.net/projects/genericrpg/files/stats/timeline?dates=2007-04-16+to+2012-09-19 there has never been any downloads you might be on about http://sourceforge.net/projects/grpg/ but that is not the same engine he never uploaded any files at all so you couldnt have downloaded it from there Quote
rulerofzu Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) It was FREE to get the engine from that link I have the copy that i got a couple years back, when the link was working. The license WAS under GPL!! If you still have a copy can you post the GPL licence as according to the only other site that is providing any info other than sourceforge is hotscripts which states last update 2009 commercial and costs $50 per copy.

Dunno Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I found This from Publius the Maker of GRPG. forums.f13.net/index.php?action=search2 If dont show up. Put GRPG in search Quote
Djkanna Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 This from Publius the Maker of GRPG. forums.f13.net/index.php?action=search2 If dont show up. Put GRPG in search Sourceforge already accepted my GRPG project, I am just waiting until I get a somewhat more stable release before I upload the first version of GRPG to be downloaded and ran on other servers. -He never got round to uploading that stable release, therefore it's still not an open source project, not to mention he has sold the script many times, that it's quite plausible he had a change of heart and decided it would be best GRPG remained commercially available and just forgot to amend the Sourceforge project listing.

Djkanna Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Out of the subject slightly, but it could be a she. :p You could very well be correct. Quote
Dunno Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 You could very well be correct. Who a she? Im a male. Im searching for open source GRPG. I have the script download 5 days ago. Not loading it till I know its open source. Quote
