Mccodes LITE VERSION..what if i...

[Curt]

I downloaded mccode lite version for the first time recently...

I was wondering if I edited the script to be a little bit like V2 such as the single line include for each page instead of the v1 code...that if i could continue to create my game for free with the free engine ?...

The script will be for personal use and im gonna strip it down more and work on a project almost from scratch...lol

I just want to have it so V2 mods are easily incorporated into the game :)

Any experiences from anyone ?

i will be using mccodes lite for my third project which i will be taking my time on...

Thanks,

Curt

Do what ever you like to Lite it's a free script you may customize it in anyway you desire.

There is nothing wrong with you doing that....

[Danny696]

ITs under GLP lience, they cant stop you doing pritty much anything...

Except, you share alike.

This means if you spent four years customizing it and I come to you and say: I want whatever you have, you have to give it to me.

Where does is say you must give modified copies out if requested?

Not had a full read, however I am sure that is wrong otherwise no one would base anything off GPL software, PHP or otherwise.

"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. "

Means you must keep the sources available and cannot hide them. That's GPL... LGPL on the other side allows to use your "library" or code and the result mix doesn't need to be under GPL nor distributed.

So yes, if you use a McCode Lite you must allow people which want to have a copy of your modified version a way to get it. Not sure it is 100% wished for a game ;)

The professional term for it is called copyleft. The GNU GPL strongly complies with it.

From Wikipedia:

 

In addition to restrictions on copying, copyleft licenses address other possible impediments. These include ensuring the rights cannot be later revoked and requiring the work and its derivatives to be provided in a form that facilitates modification. In software, this requires that the source code of the derived work is made available together with the software itself.

Copyleft licenses necessarily make creative use of relevant rules and laws. For example, when using copyright law, those who contribute to a work under copyleft usually must gain, defer or assign copyright holder status. By submitting the copyright of their contributions under a copyleft license, they deliberately give up some of the rights that normally follow from copyright, including the right to be the unique distributor of copies of the work.

Thanks guys for posting the facts up for me.

This will make me rethink my 3rd project a little bit..lol

It does not sound to good that any custom work i do has to be released for free...
