The Zlib license is free and fine, but that only goes for the source
code.
What I mean by the "main license" is the one covering the whole of AC,
both data and source, as one archive, this is clearly non-free:
###
AssaultCube is FREEWARE. By downloading the AssaultCube package(s) you
agree
that you may freely use and redistribute the AssaultCube package(s)
UNMODIFIED
(the AssaultCube package(s) can be originally found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/actiongame/files/ or downloaded with an
SVN
client from https://actiongame.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/actiongame)
on any
media, subject to the following licensing conditions:
.
* AssaultCube is provided "as-is", without any express or implied
warranty.
In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages
arising from
the use of AssaultCube.
* You MAY NOT use AssaultCube for ANY commercial purposes.
* You may re-compress the AssaultCube package(s) using different
archival
formats (i.e. zip/tgz/rpm/deb/dmg).
Any other changes beyond this, require EXPLICIT permission.
* The origin of AssaultCube, or its package(s) must not be
misrepresented.
You must not claim that you created AssaultCube or any of the
original
AssaultCube package(s).
* You must not modify AssaultCube for the purposes of gaining an
unfair
advantage over others and you must not redistribute these
modifications
in any form, including, but not limited to videos, text and
software.
.
PLEASE NOTE: This license is for the entire UNMODIFIED AssaultCube
package(s). You may choose to disect, and use or redistribute, etc.
pieces of AssaultCube, instead of the entire package(s) if you wish.
HOWEVER, you must adhere to the
license specified for that particular data. If no license is specified,
you
MUST assume that the data is COPYRIGHT and you are NOT allowed to
redistribute
that data outside of an UNMODIFIED AssaultCube package(s).
Comment:
This Copyright have been updated to the latest version by request from
one of
the AssaultCube project leads Nigel "RandumKiwi", who also provided a
Debian-specific exception (c.f.
http://forum.cubers.net/thread-4150.html):
.
As of today, the Debian development teams have EXPLICIT permission from
the
AssaultCube Development team, to modify the original AssaultCube
software
package(s), in any way they want, conditional to the following:
* All clauses of the original license must be adhered to, with the
exception
that you may now modify the package.
* All new packages are to be redistributed using the same license they
originally came with.
* As you may know, AssaultCube is made up of various media, from
various
sources, all with various copyright notices of their own. So, all
copyright
notices within that package, must also be found in the new package,
if the
files within the new package are normally affected by that license.
* Any changes made to the AssaultCube package(s), must only be made for
the
intention of making it easier to package AssaultCube for Debian in
what you
deem to be the most appropriate way.
* We are entrusting you to make the right decisions and hope that it is
not
abused. Although we'll endeavor to contact you if something is wrong
and try
to come to an agreement on how best to rectify the situation, please
realise
that we reserve the right to revoke our permission at any time and
will do so if we feel it is being abused.
