!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: This game has been retroactively relicensed with a
-dual license model: GPL and CC-NC-SA.
+dual license model: GPL and CC-NC-SA (so,starting
+from 1.65, the game can be distributed as free software;
+later versions will be GPL only).
+
+--------------------
+Original announcement on the upstream forum[1]:
+
+Barring unanticipated objections from contributors we’ve forgotten, future
versions of Oolite will be distributed under the GNU General Public License
version 2, from here on referred to as the GPL. Resources – models, textures,
sounds, images – will be distrubuted under the Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license (herafter known as
CC-by-nc-sa-3).
+(If you’re a contributor we’ve forgotten, and have an unanticipated objection,
please make it known as soon as possible.)
+
+What this means:
+
+ * All previous versions of Oolite may still be distributed (in source and
object form) under the same licenses as before.
+ * The current official release, 1.65, may be considered to be
dual-licensed; that is, it may be distributed under its current license (the
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license, herafter
known as CC-by-nc-sa-2) or the GPL.
+ * Existing derivative works which conformed to the license – that is,
works using parts of Oolite’s source code or original resources, and
distributed under CC-by-nc-sa-2 (or the previous modified BSD license, for
older derivative wors) – are not affected; they may continue to be distributed
under their current license in perpetuity.
+ * However, authors of such works may choose to distribute their works
under the GPL instead.
+ * New derivative works based on Oolite 1.65 or earlier may be distributed
under either CC-by-nc-sa-2 or the GPL.
+ * New derivative works based on versions of Oolite released after today
(27 February 2007) may be distributed under the GPL or CC-by-nc-sa-3, excepting
derivative works which contain Oolite source code, which may only be
distributed under the GPL.
+
+This decision was taken by agreement between Giles Williams, Dylan Smith,
David Taylor and myself, Jens Ayton, through an agonizing process of forgetting
about it for months at a time.

+No.
+From now on, Oolite (the application) is GPL 2 or
+later only. The data is GPL 2 or later, or CC-by-nc-sa 3.0.

+
+The dual-licensing applies retroactively to 1.65 (but not earlier).
+1.65 may also be distributed under CC-by-nc-sa 2.0.
+However, there is currently no distribution of 1.65 with
+license files that reflect this.
