Looking for devs & testers for the ReShaped mod!

primal bluff
#

not sure how much people are going to want to contribute to an ARR mod to be honest

karmic umbra
#

what license do you suggest?

#

and would you want to help when it is a different license

#

it's my first time doing anything open source and also my first proper Minecraft mod

#

ARR isn’t an open source license

karmic umbra
#

?

#

people can see the source on github, so isn't it open source?

#

but what if it says ARR reshaped team? so the license includes any contributors?

#

after looking it up, im going to change the license to an open source lisence. ARR appearantly means you can't contribute legaly

primal bluff
#

you could, its just that you cant fork it or anything should the project become abandoned or something. people would be more comfortable contributing if they knew they could continue development in your absence and whatnot

karmic umbra
#

what lisences do you recomend?

karmic umbra
#

MPL 2.0 and GPL v3 seem good

#

and LGPL

karmic umbra
#

BY-NC-SA 4.0 also seems good

#

i am going to switch to GPL or LGPL

shell void
#

it can't be GPL because that would require mc to GPL

#

use a common licence like MIT

karmic umbra
#

i am not going to switch to MIT, it is too unrestrictive

#

and plenty of mods use LGPL, so it doesn't seem to be a problem

#

i dont want forks to be allowed to become closed source

shell void
#

no gurantee people will not do that despite what licence you use

karmic umbra
#

yea, but at least it wouldn't say you are allowed to do it

karmic umbra
#

i have updated the license to GPL 3, i still might change it if i find a better one or maybe to LGPL but at least it isn't ARR anymore

karmic umbra
#

i am currently rewriting the core mod system that provides block associations

#

to use recepies instead of block id's to identify existing block variants

GPL v3 is not compatible with Minecraft mods, since Minecraft mods link with Minecraft (which isn't GPL v3). I believe LGPL v3 is the preferred alternative, since it's as close as you can get to GPL v3 while still respecting the restrictions of the license.

From what I understand, it allows closed source things to use it, but only if they don't modify it.

#

So, someone could make a closed-source add-on to your mod. However, if they fork it, they still have to keep the LGPL.

karmic umbra
#

imma change it to LGPL tomorrow

A discord poll is in no way a valid alternative to reading the license that you're considering using

LGPL

karmic umbra
#

the lisence is changed to LGPL now

#

so anyone interested in helping development?

#

I can explain the codebase if that helps anyone
