It's all about the licenses. If the fork has its work under a license compatible to OpenSimulator's, then porting code is possible.
IANAL but OpenSimulator uses a 3-clause BSD license. If the other project kept that license or is a superset, then the code is compatible with OpenSimulator. Pretty much any other licence (Apache, MIT, GPL, ...) will require much legal massaging to include into OpenSmulator core. == mb On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 3:55 PM, Frank Nichols <[email protected]> wrote: > As far as I know the restriction would be the fork must allow it, and have > a copyright that is compatible with OS Core. > > If both those criteria are met, then I suggest you discuss the changes you > propose to submit in this mailing list and/or on the #opensim-dev IRC > channel before starting to ensure the direction you are going would be > acceptable before doing a lot of work. > > Frank > > On May 23, 2015, at 6:47 PM, W Smith <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi all, is it acceptable to take code from forks of OpenSim? > > My specific desire is to take some of the lsl functions code from > Aurora-Sim and make them compatible with and work in OpenSim > > Regards Talun. > > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev > > > > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev > >
