Distributing a patcher for TreeLoader


Recommended Posts

Since TreeLoader's license is all rights reserved it is obviously not possible to distribute a patched version of treeloader. This does not mean, however, that Treeloader cannot be patched. I'm curious as to whether it would be acceptable to distribute a plugin that would patch treeloader after it has already been downloaded in the original format very similar to the way module manager patches config files. I'm curious as to the legality of this and whether this is even possible, as I have not delved into plugin development thus far, but knowing what I do I feel as though this wouldn't be difficult at all, and I have heard that treeloader really only needs minor modifications to fix it for .25. Is this true? Or would the extent of the changes fall into the category of the patcher essentially already having a modified version within it? Where is the line drawn?

If I were you I'd PM r4m0n, he might be quite welcoming to someone willing to patch it. He's a very reasonable guy, really, and I think ARR was less about "no you can't have my toys" than "I want some control over what people do with this." Reserved rights can be waived; disclaimed rights can't be reinstated.
