With the exception of minor bug fixes the works are wholly developed by team Daemon. > 2. When D-day for this licencing change/ decision? Our internal deliberations have reached an impasse and we need feedback from the community to help us move forward. In principle we like the change but its too controversial to not seek wider opinion. In addition its complex and disruptive, and we'd be foolish to just rush into a change without community consultation. There is no d-day. We want to make sure that the change is the right change. There may be no change. > 3.

Provided your customisations are the property of your client, and they remain within that client organisation they would be deemed as private (ie. not distributed) and would not be subject to any obligations under the GPL. Any contributions you make to the FarCry project would fall under the GPL, and the copyright would be ceded to Daemon (this is a requirement for all core contributions).
