The Current License

[William]

Im thinking of deleting it or remaking it. A license concerning releasing things you've done a hard work on shouldn't be a must. It should be optional.

The license has changed! The old public domain license is still in effect if you want to
use Mirage 3.0.3 and 3.0.7 source codes, but if you are planning on using Mirage Source
Engine Build 1 and higher, you must obey the license attached to it.
Why do I have a license change? It's quite simple, actually. The reason for requiring
fixes, optimizations and security additions/changes code to be posted back to the
community, is because anything that fixes up the code helps the community. Think of it
this way. With out the community there would be no code and tutorials ... The part where
two references must be made back to the community site... well... Notice I require
references to the community and NOT to Shannara Corporation. Its the Mirage Source
community who made the site how it is today, not the company. So I thought it was only
fair that the community get the credit.
Please note, if someone decided to make a port of MSE to a different language, such as
RealBasic C++, Delphi, etc, please give credit to the community. After all, there would
have been no product with out them. I am also more then willing to provide support
forums for all ports and MSE related products. These would be under (MSE Related
Products), and you can have as many forums as you like.
Besides, if you do not like the license, stick with the 3.0.3 or 3.0.7 code and adhere to that
license. Nobody is forcing you to use MSE, even though I will try to keep it as up to date
as possible. The reason the source code cannot be distributed, on any site other then the
official mirage source, is in case someone gets the bright idea to inject some bad code
and distribute it. We would have people down our throats. Kind of like what that kid PC
did, attempt to attach an illegal license to the code. It never hold water since the majority
of the community knew better then to trust that SOB .

yeah me too... i like the current liscense for it. i think it should remain as is

[William]

I think the license is great. It's a excellent thing to release fixes, security changes, and optimizations.

Of course it is, but as I see it most people do that anyway. And Im not very found of licenses.

It's good, but just re-write it. I'm sure a lot of people are confused by it thinking they have to release their entire source, but that's not what it's saying

But yeah, just re-write it.

Good idea.
