/tg/Station 13

OXFORD NEWS ALERT!



wots this then

ps: don't ban me i will meme you into submission

EDIT: the plot thickens!



i will be providing news as it comes, stay tuned




that plots gettin thicc




for those getting into the drama more or less what happened is fallout/13/ ran by Godsring was using tg assets, but keeping them closed source, which is against our license agreement. as such mso filed a DMCA claim against them, which is a copyright infringement notice.

release source or the DMCA's will continue

im not the offical godsring representitive and i do not speak for him or his affiliated parties, or on behalf of his server or his intellectual property

but i believe his response is going to be somewhere along the lines of "fuck off"

not mine though im just here to watch server drama and wonder as to why /tg/'s trying to DCMA a 20 person server

I'm going to DMCA him next, he's using tg code which is AGPL licensed

im going to DMCA you for being a fucking orange, thats copyrighted by flordia.

you can go ahead and move this to ntr now though

No way I'm a Philippine orange

I'm gonna go get a burger

The options are pretty simple, either remove the stolen code, keep it release it publicly in accordance to the law, or keep getting banned by Byond for breaking the law.

all shitposters required to join

this discord chat is great
also I was in before the link was posted and before this mess started haha jokes on you guys who's the newfag now

it's still me

damn I got banned

Got kicked too.
Looks like he deleted all the instant invite links. The one on their digg is expired too.

>they banned y'all
shit
if you need anything ask, I was part of it before the fiasco so they don't seem to be doing anything about me
also I'm not part of tg staff

Wait, yeah. I got banned. Discord just gives ZERO indication it's a ban and not an expired link.

>you can use our code so long as you remain open source, otherwise you will be taken down
>fuck you I'm going closed source
>WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID YOU SHUT ME DOWN

like pottery

>they were not only making money off something based on /tg/code and also closed source, but letting people pay for starting with power armor (or atleast were going to)
seriously though I wish there was an easier way to post screenshots cause these guys are fucking shittalking like crazy
looks like one more server I'm going to stop playing on
should I link more photos or am I just being annoying at this point

What possible reason could they have for not open sourcing a game that is based off of an open source project and therefore already like 95% publicly available? Their own fault for this, godspeed mso

their reasoning is "T-The jews just wanna steal our sprites and hard work!!!" essentially
the only people allowed to be closed source are lifeweb because those guys are cool

No, lifeweb was smart and used the gpl loophole.
Their stuff is 100% legal, and we respect that.
Fallout13 used agpl code.

Of everything that makes me the most furious.

Their argument is that people will run their own fallout13 stations using their code and sprites and that this cheapens their effort.

In the meantime they're literally building on top of our code and sprites, all our effort and hard work that we give away freely and allow people to take and run their own tgstation with it's own unique flavour, all we ask in return is that they respect our work and release their own changes back to the community to also benefit from, that's the only reason we use the AGPL license.

Without the tg base they wouldn't have half the game they have, they're basically spitting directly in our face and then trying to play the victim card.

Their stuff is 100% legal, and we respect that.

Respect is not a word I would use, CM are ethically pond sucking scum. Their abusing of a loophole in the GPL license to keep the code closed in a way that violates the intentions of most of the devs who comitted pre the AGPL license is not something I would respect.

edit: sorry I got carried away and thought you said CM, lifeweb and CM are the equivalent in my eyes.

not only is he probably wrong, he also appears to deserve all of this

wow man who needs tv when you have this to watch

for the love of god correct the topic title already
i keep reading it as DOMA

ahahahah this is great... please leak more pics

Godsie deserves it. He removed spiders as a playable race in dungeon master. Fuck him.
Offered to host and continue coding when he abandoned project for a few months. Said he'he'd give me the rights. Didn't do it. Fuck him.
Burn he!

>this whole thread

*ey man, pass the blunt over bro, lemme take a rip*
(Weed smoking noises)
'Yo, pass that shit back over here man'

*What? Nah, sorry bro, I'm keepin this one for myself*

Godsring baby just release the code. Please.

Clearly we're just afraid of them because of cool they are and all



I guess it's time for us to unleash our 4chan armies.

That was CM, afaik Lifeweb was built on Luna era baycode.

Is that the gist of it?

The funny thing is the inner circlejerk of that server thinks people here want the code. Protip: no one wants the shitty code to a shitty ss13 ripoff. The host just doesn't want to lose his income from it and the circlejerk doesn't want to lose their exclusive club of the only friends they have in their lives.

God speed, MSO. Call back the host and ask for his mother.

yes

its not the fact that your dcmaing them im against

i don't really care, i just want to play F13, this is directly affecting it and therefore it is bad

loads of people feel this way

If they released the code someone else could host and you could play.

lmao dude just open source your code
>implying pretty much everything MSO does is not right and just

no exceptions MSO is a pure-hearted knight of the GPL

it's literally impossible to hate MSO tbh

What's godring saying about our code being stolen? From what i've heard, the original ss13 source was stolen, so is he making a valid claim? Also, what exactly is his argument and why is it wrong?

Then those loads of people, yourself included, can convince them to stop being law-breaking faggots.
