|
## 1. General
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is not permitted to submit abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful,
|
||
|
threatening, sexually-orientated or any material that may violate any laws be
|
||
|
it of your country, the country where "Content DB” is hosted or International Law.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## 2. Technical Names
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 2.1 Right to a name
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first package to use a name based on the creation of its forum topic or
|
||
|
contentdb submission has the right to the technical name. The use of a package
|
||
|
on a server or in private doesn't reserve its name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If it turns out that we made a mistake by approving a package and that the
|
||
|
name should have been given to another package, then we *may* unapprove the
|
||
|
package and give the name to the correct one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 2.2 Mod Forks and Reimplementations
|
||
|
|
||
|
An exception to the above is that mods are allowed to have the same name as a
|
||
|
mod if its a fork of that mod (or a close reimplementation). In real terms, it
|
||
|
should be possible to use the new mod as a drop-in replacement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We reserve the right to decide whether a mod counts as a fork or
|
||
|
reimplementation of the mod that owns the name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## 3. License
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 3.1 Allowed Licenses
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please ensure that you correctly credit any resources (code, assets, or otherwise)
|
||
|
that you have used in your package.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The use of licenses which do not allow derivatives is not permitted.
|
||
|
This includes CC-ND (No-Derivatives) and lots of closed source licenses.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the license you use is not on the list then please choose the correct "Other"
|
||
|
option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that the definitions of "free" and "non-free" is the same as that
|
||
|
of the [Free Software Foundation](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html).
|
||
|
|
||
|
### 3.2 Recommended Licenses
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is recommended that you use a proper license for code with a warranty
|
||
|
disclaimer, such as the (L)GPL or MIT. You should also use a proper media license
|
||
|
for media, such as a Creative Commons license.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The use of WTFPL is discouraged as it doesn't contain a valid warranty disclaimer,
|
||
|
and also includes swearing which dissuades teachers from using your content.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Public domain is not a valid license in many countries, please use CC0 or MIT instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
