Relying on Jacobsen v. Katzer, the District Court concluded that royalty-free licensing under open source conditions does not preclude a claim for damages.

Holy
SHIT

Breach of contract claims may also be able to address reputational harm and other indirect non-economic benefits that a plaintiff might derive from enforcing open source license conditions.

Remie Richards · Fri May 12, 2017 6:23 pm

What's also noteworthy is:

Generally, copyright claims may afford plaintiffs more damages and stronger remedies than contract claims. However, contract claims may help a plaintiff pursue a violator’s worldwide conduct in a way that jurisdictional limits on copyright claims might not allow.

Essentially, treating (A)GPL as a contract for purposes of law allows it to avoid local "copyright" jurisdictions, and become worldwide, we can all see how that would be useful, surely.

Well apparently godsring fired some guys and now they are making a separate server?

EDIT: Some neat little images

TheColdTurtle · Sat May 13, 2017 7:55 pm

Ok so from my limited understanding on what happened, aran got mad that godsring deadminned their friend for being a control freak, so aran sent a death threat to godsring and his son. When godsring then deadminned aran and didn't explain it, most of the staff left or something.

IIRC the first deadminning happened because the friend admin said someone had no reading comprehension and apparently this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Then there was an argument about admin policy and criticism about how Godsring picks and favors admins based on how emotionally supportive they are to him and not by their admin ability and effort. Godsring didn't exactly refute this. The rest is history I guess.

All of the messages of the first deadmin (and aran's) were removed but here's a screenshot of the leftovers of the immediate aftermath.

Well when they purposely try to make drama for any kind of attention, I would assume yes.

Something something didn't want to go to court, so now something something is open-source:
https://bitbucket.org/Jackerzz/fallout-13

On this day May 23 - 2017, in order to let players continue to enjoy the Fallout 13 project and allow the further hosting of our servers on Byond HUB, Fallout 13 administration has made an uneasy decision to ease monopoly on the source code.
Developers have tried their best to defend the project, by seeking holes in licensing, and other ways not to surrender, but capitulation turned out the only reasonable thing to do, besides a complete termination of a project.
This day shall be remembered as a day of great shame and disappointment, but also a day when each and everyone got the ability to directly contribute to the project, a day when Fallout 13 was saved from a Great War of Communities, and potential extinction by the course of war.

callanrockslol · Tue May 23, 2017 2:09 pm

Correct me if I'm wrong but since the art assets are cc-by-sa and not AGPL like the code couldn't they have nuked the art, redone it all and then release the code by itself?

Danowar · Post by **Danowar** » Tue May 23, 2017 5:49 pm #300827

Ah well. Would have been funny to see this actually escalate to a legit court case.

Anyway, I stepped down as the spriter for the project since they got a couple more guys to do assets now. Just kind of lost my motivation for most of my hobbies over the last couple of months. I'm still letting them use my art, but I mean, since it's open source I guess you guys can nab whatever now.

Now that they're open source I can port guncrafting.

He really needs to stop being a little bitch about the source code. The only thing he's doing is shoveling more shit on to the pile of shit he's already trying to clean up. I don't see how he can think it's worth it.

Slignerd · Post by **Slignerd** » Wed May 24, 2017 12:28 am #300835

I guess keep preparing for the lawsuit then, since Godsring evidently has no intention of legitimately and sincerely complying with the license.

Limey · Post by **Limey** » Wed May 24, 2017 12:34 am #300836

its yet another "godsring is not all there" episode

Danowar · Post by **Danowar** » Wed May 24, 2017 12:47 am #300837

the legacy version is the one based on the original fo13 project, which was based on some really ancient tg code. It's what all the fo13 projects used as a starting point. Not really much blood to squeeze from that when the russians have made their project open sourced.

Anyway, I might clean up my assets and throw them in a zip archive if anyone wants to use them. No point in keeping them hidden now.

Post by **oranges** » Wed May 24, 2017 1:05 am #300838

legacy is pre AGPL yeah, means they lose on all our optimizations and improvements since.

Good luck to them if they make it work like CM does, although they'll still be shitters

Slignerd · Post by **Slignerd** » Wed May 24, 2017 1:08 am #300839

Oh, it's only GPL legacy that was withheld?

welcum 2 tee gee

anyways

thanks for cooperating friend, and don't worry we won't harass you over legacy, you're well within your rights to not release that

feel free to contact me at any time if you've got questions about shit, or want something ported to your OS bitbucket(if I have the time anyways)
