0 inktaylor Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I notice redpower is at the top of the list and Eloram has this at the bottom of his download page: http://www.eloraam.com/?page_id=130 Copyright Notice RedPower is copyrighted material. It may only be downloaded from the links provided here, and may not be redistributed in any form, modified or otherwise, without express permission. Decompilation or reverse-engineering is strictly prohibited. All rights not explicitly granted are reserved. He decide he didn't like us anymore...? That one may be valid, can't speak for it Forestry's license seems to jive with technic since its not making money off it, so I'm not sure what that's about: The code of "Forestry for Minecraft" in source or binary form is the intellectual property of SirSengir. Unless specifically stated otherwise, it may only be reproduced, redistributed or modified for personal use. If you have other plans, ask first. You will generally get permission for inclusion in mod packs, server packs, etc. One important exception: Don't ask me to okay public links using ad.fly or similar! I draw the line at letting other people profit from my work. The other references... no idea. Isn't that just the minecraft server parts? I think Mojang has more or less rubber stamped Bukkit so I can't believe including this would be an issue...

0 jakj Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It had better not be mod authors getting bugs up their asses, because anyone who did, just abolished any chance ever in the universe I might even consider giving them money. Technic is one of the best things to ever happen to the Minecraft community, and I can deal with people not liking it, but I cannot deal with people trying to sabotage it. Legal or not. This is 2012. If you can't deal with your free mod being distributed by a free pack that makes it available to hundreds (thousands?) of noobs who would never be able to install it on their own, then you don't deserve to have anything come back to you at all.

0 inktaylor Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My bad, looks like the Minecraft server bits I was looking at is mostly ModLoader bits. Can't find a license to reference on that one though. So that makes the infringement list include: Redpower, Forestry and ModLoader it looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nethaufer Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Isn't it legally impossible for the mod makers to declare they have a copyright on the mod because it infringes on the Mojang TOS? And the only reason why Mojang hasn't cracked down on any of the authors is because it does good for the community? So it that's true, it renders that copyright claim completely groundless.

They can claim copyright under us law for any bits not derived from game source like computational algorithms and structures or original item block or gui textures.

0 Forum Administrators KakerMix Posted March 22, 2012 Forum Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2012 This has everything to do with a Bukkit port person not understand what they are doing. Its fine, and doesn't affect us on bit, but we will be taking action against this. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cheap Shot Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 This has already been sorted out. It wasn't any of the mod authors, just someone who doesn't understand how we operate pretending they have authority to speak for a bunch of people they don't. They were misinformed and the takedown was fraudulent. We are exploring every avenue right now, good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
