L2JDP Revision 7670:
Hi L2J, i'm Gabriel from Brazil and i think about host a legally game server. But i have a few questions about my rights to modify your server and data pack, because they are free software right? But in the Readme.txt of L2J server i can't understand that:
--
====================
L2J Server
====================
$Date: 2010/01/06 13:12:11 $
II. Legal
b)NO world content should be incorporated in L2J
distribution. -- it's means if i want insert a NPC, for example, i can't? and in the same Readme.txt at
--
II. Legal
a) Preserve login notice. This gives us, L2J Developers, appropriate
credit for our hard work done during our free time without any
revenues. -- I think in edit that message for a message with your rights and my respectively, and the message will look something like this:
Actual message:
This server uses L2J, a project founded by L2Chef and developed by the L2J Dev Team at l2jserver.com
Copyright 2004-2011
New message:
This server is a modified and adapted version of L2J, a project founded by L2Chef and developed by Dev Team at L2J l2jserver.com
Copyright 2004-2011
and "My Name Server " in "My Server Web Site"
copyright yyyy-yyyy.
--Where "yyyy ", means the year of foundation of my server and the current year. this modification is given by the said purpose of my desire to legally host a game server and I think this is according to the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007 at 4th paragraph:
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-- But if you think this message will hurt your rights, I can put my rights below of your, this is not a problem for me, I want just a permission to modify your server according to my needs, if I want to make a NPC QUEST MANAGER, for example. And if you can send me an email with this permission, and how to put a message with my rights on loggin notice, or just answer these questions in the forum and attaching the authorization, anyway this is my email address for contact :
[email protected]
And just another question how can i make a client connect to my server without hurt the rights of NCZ0ft? can i modify the l2.ini and servername.dat? If you can answer these questions I'll be very grateful
Observation: I got L2J server and data pack from yours SVN.
thank you for your attention
Sincerely,
Gabriel Camargo.
