[0.90] Magic Smoke Industries Infernal Robotics - 0.19.3
Ezriilc replied to sirkut's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Hey sirkut! Loving the company name! I've been so busy that I hadn't even played in the last week, but this makes me want to go rebuild my space station better. -
The question was asked about a previous license for HyperEdit, and for the sake of transparency, I went digging for it and found nothing. In fact, so far I see no evidence that the creator designated any particular license at all. If someone is aware of one, please point me to that info. Since, as Mr Shifty pointed out, the law states that a work's originator retains all rights by default, that means that without any explicit designation, HyperEdit was not legally open to being forked by anyone. So, I've taken the step to add that explicit statement to the project, in writing. I'm not saying that the creator didn't mean for it to be this way all along, just that I do now.

I'm sorry you're upset, but I'm confused as to what else you expect me to do. As for my rights, I've asserted only those given to me by law. If you feel differently, please let me know where I'm wrong, specifically, and I will correct the matter immediately, as I've done so far. By all means, the GPL license I've granted you gives you the right to fork this project, and I encourage you to do so if you wish.

I appreciate your concern, and I understand. I assure you that I do have complete ownership, and that I'm respecting all applicable laws, as well as the rules from Squad regarding Add-Ons. However, if anyone thinks something is missing, please speak up and I will do my best to address any issues that remain.

I want apologize once more about my "Why do you care?" comment. I know exactly why you care, and they're the same, excellent reasons I and others do. Furthermore, you all have every right to question me about every detail of the project, and it behooves me to offer information freely. DYJ and 42undead2, Not only was my comment rude, but it was disrespectful to members of the community who willingly share in the well being of HyperEdit. I'm sorry and I will do my best to never react that way again.

For the record. As the new owner - rather than a licensee or 3rd party - I'm not legally obligated to do anything, other than to honor whichever license I choose to use. My website has contained a credit to HyperEdit's creator since before its existence was made public. I've never suggested that I created HyperEdit. The creator of HyperEdit has conveyed their strong wish to have nothing more to do with this project, and only begrudgingly allowed the credit I've already given.

Why do you care? This is the only official HyperEdit plugin for KSP, so why would a license from its past matter? EDIT: That was rude, and I'm sorry. The license is GPL, and I've added that to the readme ("HyperEdit_ReadMe.txt") along with basic unzipping instructions, added the readme to the .zip file, and uploaded the new .zip to the SpacePort and our site. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
