Seasoned Roamer Ormus Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 My English isn't very well so I have question to you. Take a look at this text taken from CPL licence attached to the BoE source code release: Quote: Blades of Exile Game/Editor Common Public License BLADES OF EXILE GAME/EDITOR ("PROGRAM") IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM BLADES OF EXILE EDITOR CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS LICENSE APPLIES ONLY TO THE PROGRAM "BLADES OF EXILE EDITOR", AND NOT TO THE PROGRAM "BLADES OF EXILE," DEMO OR FULL. I don't understand. BoE Game/Editor is provided under terms of the licence, but licence applies only to the BoE Editor? Could somebode explain this to me, please?

Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Are those two paragraphs in the order they were in on the liscense? If not, it may just be some sort of mistake. If so, I am very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What I think happened is that Jeff copied the licence for the BoA Editor, did a find/replace to change "Exile" to "Avernum", and forgot to remove the paragraph about the game itself not being released under the same licence.

Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Of course! That would make sense. I was really confused there... Legal documents just aren't my thing, I'm afraid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I will put a corrected license on the BoE source code page shortly. - Jeff Vogel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
