BAEDOOR MOD LICENSE

Version 1, 1 May 2022

created by Toma400
(Tomasz Stępień)

 

License created originally to distinct Baedoor mods from other art (since mods differ by copyrights inherited from parent game) and to set distinction between All Rights Reserved and Baedoor Mod License (later: BML), since BML gives you some more possibilities.

 

As much as it is private license for Toma400's mods, all modders are welcome to use BML for their own purposes, with requirement to not remove anything but section 4 (if it is redundant).
If license is edited, it should be stated explicitly in its first paragraph that it is modified.

 

License may change in the future with next iterations. For software under BML license I will use term "product". Parent game for mod (for which it was made for) is called as "core game".

 

1. GENERAL LICENSE
Baedoor Mod License prohibits use of any product's contents - by that it is meant code and assets in their broad sense - if not stated in section 2.
Content copyrights belong to product's owner (or team, if stated so).

 

Any exceptions in copyrights' holding or specific licenses being used for part of product's contents are stated explicitly on either product's distribution page, readme, license or EULA.

If more than one license is used for product's contents, BML is applied only to contents not being under any other license.

 

 

2. CONTENT USE EXCEPTIONS
Any use of product's contents has to be discussed with copyrights owner before it gets used for any purpose, unless it is meant to be used for:

 

2.1 Mod compatibility with the product, which isn't blatant copy-paste of content feature and is within core game EULA

* "Compatibility feature" needs to add feature that is exclusive and wasn't done in any of those mods. Most of compatibilities should count here, but this subsection is here to protect from copy-pasting product's feature and calling it "compatibility".

* Compatibility has to follow core game EULA, so if said agreement prohibits selling of mods, compatibility software using product's contents should not be sold, to comply that EULA.

 

2.2. Porting the product to another core game version, if copyright's owner is not active nor reachable via any provided social media for over a year

* You need explicit permission from author to port product to another core game version or API, if said author is active.

* If author is unreachable by any means for more than one year, you are granted to use its contents ONLY to port the mod to another core game version or API, and to maintain it. This permission is granted until author becomes active again. Person who ports product should leave message for author(s) for them to know that product is being ported and that they can inspect it.

* Author who came back after such long break has right to do anything with said port, though users of BML license are asked to not overuse this right as stated here.

* Porting author has also to directly mention and link to original mod in visible place of their site, and is asked to put mod's author in team's section (if publishing site offers such feature), and if publishing site has possibility to grant you any benefits from downloads, porting author needs to set at least 25% of benefits to original author of the mod.

 

 

3. REDISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCT AND WAYS OF USE
Baedoor Mod License does not allow for further redistribution of the product.


BML allows user to:

3.1. Using the product for its intended purpose (playing within core game environment)
3.2. Changing product for their own private purposes (not being shared with anyone)
3.3. Creating new creative public content based on the product (gameplay videos)
3.4. Creating modpacks with product 

As long as none of the above breaks core game EULA.

 

 

4. BAEDOOR UNIVERSE LICENSE
Baedoor Mod License is made for universal use for any mods and is described above.
This section is restricted only for products using Baedoor universe, as it is following a bit different copyright status being Baedoor License (BL).

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

This is only excerpt from Baedoor License (v1) on Baedoor Universe use, full license can be found under this link:
https://github.com/Toma400/The_Isle_of_Ansur/blob/Alpha/license

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Baedoor universe is intellectual property of Tomasz Stępień, also known as Toma400.

Use of said universe outside author's context is restricted to be:

 

 I. free from requesting any beneficial actions (see section 5.1 of original license)

II. explicitly stating use of the universe/RPG system in visible place
(if artistic value of the art would suffer from stating such - by, for example, putting watermark on image - it is then allowed to leave it without such remark; it is appreciated though to credit universe/RPG system elsewhere instead)
