Hi everyone,

Just read there that a single image is better off being dual licensed as speaking about CCby vs GPL, since CCby adds restrictions GPL won't tolerate, if I read correctly:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ccby

To simplify for people doing such stuff (and I'm concerned), could you consider releasing that content pack into CCby3.0 or CCbySA3.0 (Which is Debian compatible), so that one can mix those nice graphics with other ccby work without extra trouble?

Thanks for reading,

Best regards,

I think CC-BY-SA is more in the spirit of TMW than CC-BY. When you use CC-BY you are always risking to be exploited by people who build on your work without giving you the opportunity to also build on theirs.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Hi,

CC by SA 3.0 is perfectly fine to me.

Also, Zabin from OGA is willing to get in touch with Len to merge some own work with TMW one.
Something good might pop up with this. :)

Best regards,
