on this codebase and the tgstation codebase
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:29 am
Since some people have asked.
1) we're not officially adopting this project into our own governance structure, maintainers and contributors who wish to join this codebase are free to do so at their own will and can work on either as they feel. While I personally feel some Schadenfreude at the whole thing our codebase is committed to extending CM the same courtesy we afforded goon when they were leaked, if they want to go open source they should do so of their own volition, previous license arguments not withstanding, and we're not going to touch the leaked code (not that any of it has real relative use on /tg/ at this stage)
2) before you do rush ahead to contribute to this new codebase you should consider very strongly the following things
A) the sprites in ss13 are not virally licensed, so it's not clear to me what license any CM sprites are available under or if people can possess them at all legally (note that this is irrespective of the overall code license argument)
B) Fox merged with disney and disney's legal team really really hates unauthorised reproductions.
