licenses, again...

by durtective6 » Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:42

i posted this on general discussion, without many answers.
so, ive made a mod with some new blocks, and wanted to know about licenses and what one i should choose.
i dont know if this would change anything--->Image as ive changed the brightness etc of the default dirt texture to make a texture for the block (its a type of dirt thats harder to break)
what license(s) should i have for my mod?

If you alternate something take a look at the original license. For dirt it is WTFPL. Which says you can do "what the fuck you want."
Things like GPL and CC-BY-SA include a part that tells you, you have to use the same license for derivative works. That prevents people from using free content in non free projects.

If it's not listed there (but it's part of default, it's:
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0)
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/


If it's listed, it has the license as mentioned above the textures right after the author.

For example:
Calinou (CC BY-SA):
default_brick.png
default_clay_brick.png


The clay brick texture is CC BY-SA

jojoa1997 (WTFPL):
default_obsidian.png


The obsidian texture is WTFPL

cactus is default right?
ive found dyes as wtfpl
should i put licenses as wtfpl and CC BY-SA 3.0 as the licenses then (on my mod page)?

like
licenses:WTFPL and CC BY-SA 3.0

If every source you used is WTFPL you can just write:
License (everything): WTFPL


If most of the mod is WTFPL, but a part is CC BY-SA 3.0, I'd write something like this:
License (texture_x.png): CC BY-SA 3.0
License (everything else): WTFPL


If the license of the source is WTFPL you can change it to CC BY-SA 3.0, but not the other way around.
