Hi all, I'm proposing the following license terms for my Full Thrust Game Server. In order to best protect GZG's rights, I'm using the Common Public Attribution License (CPAL) and naming GZG as the "Original Developer", which means that all developers would need to attribute GZG in their applications. I've also placed the "content" under a non- commercial license.
Does that seem reasonable to everyone? Also, is this an appropriate usage of the GZG logo? http://fullthrust.wordpress.com/licenses/ Thanks, -- Ernie P. Licenses The Full Thrust Game Server (FTGS) is based on the Full Thrust Light ruleset, which Ground Zero Games has released for non-commercial use.
