Warzone 2100 Source & Data
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The literal meaning of the release statement is ambiguous in the case
|
||||
of the original data that is included in the released package. Despite
|
||||
several attempts to get a clarification, we have received no response.
|
||||
This document replaces the file "readme.txt" as present in the Warzone 2100 GPL
|
||||
release of December 6th 2004.
|
||||
|
||||
We have chosen to interpret the original release statement as putting
|
||||
the original data under a GPL license. Since in the absence of a
|
||||
license the released data could not be distributed, we find that
|
||||
interpreting the license for the data as being under the same license
|
||||
as the source to be the best interpretation to fit the intention
|
||||
behind the release.
|
||||
1) These source and data files are provided as is with no guarantees:
|
||||
- No assistance or support will be offered or given.
|
||||
- Everything you will require to make a build of the game should be here. If
|
||||
it isn't, you'll have to improvise.
|
||||
- None of us here at Pivotal Games are in a position to be able to offer any
|
||||
help with making this work.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
2) Everything included (source code and data), as well as the not included
|
||||
videos and music, is released under the terms of the GNU General Public
|
||||
License, version 2 or (at your option) any later version.
|
||||
Please be sure to read the entirety of this license, but the summary is that
|
||||
you're free to do what you want with the source subject to making the full
|
||||
source code freely available in the event of the distribution of new
|
||||
binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
The following files are licensed other than under the GPL:
|
||||
3) Following exception to the GPL is granted:
|
||||
------
|
||||
Linking Warzone 2100 statically or dynamically with other modules is making
|
||||
a combined work based on Warzone 2100. Thus, the terms and conditions of
|
||||
the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.

|

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of Warzone 2100
|
||||
give you permission to combine Warzone 2100 with code included in the
|
||||
standard release of libraries that are accessible, redistributable and
|
||||
linkable free of charge. You may copy and distribute such a system
|
||||
following the terms of the GNU GPL for Warzone 2100 and the licenses of the
|
||||
other code concerned.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that people who make modified versions of Warzone 2100 are not
|
||||
obligated to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it
|
||||
is their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
|
||||
permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
|
||||
exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which
|
||||
carries forward this exception.
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
4) Permission is granted to use the name "Warzone 2100", the logos, stories,
|
||||
texts and related materials.
|
||||
|
||||
5) Permission is granted to copy and distribute unaltered copies and/or images
|
||||
of the original game discs in any medium, provided that they are distributed
|
||||
free of charge and retain their original copyright and trademark notices.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the primary motivation for this release is for entertainment and
|
||||
educational purposes. On the subject of the latter, don't be surprised to see
|
||||
some pretty gnarly old-school C code in here; the game was a classic, but large
|
||||
areas of the code aren't pretty; OO design and C++ evangelists beware! We
|
||||
haven't spent any time cleaning the code or making it pretty - what you see is
|
||||
what you're getting, warts n' all.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you to Jonathan Kemp of Eidos Europe for permitting the release. Thanks to
|
||||
Martin Severn for allowing to use his soundtrack. Thanks to Jason Walker for
|
||||
helping to facilitate the release of the movies and sound tracks, as well as
|
||||
clarifying the meaning of this license. Thanks also to Frank Lamboy for
|
||||
assistance with the release and for campaigning along with many many others
|
||||
over the years for the source to be made available.
|
||||
The correspondence, online petitions and persistence made this possible. We were
|
||||
constantly amazed at the community support for Warzone even after all this
|
||||
time; it's nice to be able to give something back, assuming you can get it to
|
||||
compile... ;-)
