I'm afraid f00bar that it's not the same. You can You are permitted to install, use and modify this software for personal entertainment purposes only. it's not the same like open source. But ask Max Power for sure ;) And good to see that You have energy to checking all that readme's.

It sounds like foobar got gnat's okay for it to be here, but the license could be clearer. Personal use isn't defined. In the community, I understand it to mean, by convention, that you are free to alter it and fool around with it as long as you don't distribute derivative works. If Gnat okayed its presence here, derivative works must be allowed, so a broader meaning of 'personal use' (read: private as opposed to business or government) must be in effect. The rest of the license seems to be aimed in that direction, also. It sounds like he's trying to prevent what happened with 'Darwars'.

[f00bar 10]

Sorry for the confusion guys.

I did get Gnat's confirmation that his B52 beta 1

& Virtual Bomber Addon can be used without

additional permission as stated in the original readme:

If you use any part of the addon please at least credit the

author(s). Not for commercial use with VBS

Gnat provided the updated license to be included in

addition to the licensing terms included in the original

readme.

@Max Power - What happened with the Darwars mod?

Jakerod's Unfinished Islands Pack

According to this news post:

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8790

Jakerod has sent us his pack of unfinished islands,

these are islands that he started but never got around to

finishing. They were released rather then deleted, these

would be perfect for people to adopt them and finish.

Includes 11 Islands total.

The archive comes with no license or documentation.

I don't know if anyone has adopted & finished these

islands. Please let me know if they have been reused or

taken out of the public domain.

Thanks.

:)

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=7494

From the readme:

NH90 - CSAR by AfrographX

Here is my Nh90 in the CSAR configuration.

The modell is originally fomr Footmunch

but I changed nearly every vertex on it. I still consider

it to be beta, but since I'm leaving the ofp community I

decided to release the heli at this unfinished state. I

hope someone else decides to finish the bird, esspecially

to improve the scipts. Feel free to change this addon to

whatever you want, just give me credit.

I don't know if anyone has adopted & finished this

chopper. Please let me know if it has been reused or

taken out of the public domain.

Thanks.

Wizzywig unfinished addons:

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=7287

Wizzywig from the Tomahawk Mod has

sent us some days ago an email with several

unfinished addons that he decided to release:

We at the tomahawk mod are letting go of our

old addons as we think that it might benefit all

the new mod/addons makers to use and maybe

over come some more OFP limitations but any

way there is lots of addons such as a lift,mini

gun truck and trailer with mg gun hidden in side

also some neat buildings i have to give credit

to my self "Wizzywig" and hobbit.

From the readme:

Addons created by wizzywig and hobbit

Scripts by wizzywig

wizzywig@gmail.com

please use as you please as its a

ended project due to tomahawk takeing

over please find lots of diffent

addons including a working lift

and lots more all the addons are

very very old and do not reflect

our current work in any way whats so ever

FW200's (Unfinished) Beriev Be-32K:

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=7183

From the readme:

Description:

This is a remade version of the Beriev Be-32K

originally released by HiJacker. It's far from

finished and delivered as is.

If any addonmakers feels the need to finish it,

he/she is welcome to do it (although I would like

it if you credit me (FW200) and HiJacker).

This addon was made roughly a half year ago

and I found it recently on my HD and I decided

to release it.

The author does not claim that this is a super

realistic representation of the real Beriev

Be-32K. So do not treat it as such.

The reason for the large PBO are the 2 main

model files which are 3mb each. I did not binarize

them to leave them open for people who like

to edit the addon.

IIRC, DARPA was using OFP, with community and BIS content, as a training simulator similar to VBS (only focusing on convoy procedures), without anyone's permission.

[f00bar 10]

Thanks for the info.

Whats wrong with the;

You are free to distribute this software as you wish

?

Can be said to allow derivative work, right?

But either way, if required, you can add;

Derivative works allowed.

Personnally I'd like all derivative content to be for ONLY BIS software use, but maybe thats asking too much.

Well, taking the term 'software', a software refers to a program, whereas models and texture are just data. In terms of software, I don't know if there are scripts in the package, but there is certain ambiguity in there. In terms of 'distribute how you wish' seems like, 'by any means you wish' not, 'in any condition you see fit'.

I know this is kind of splitting hairs but if you were to try and defend your license some time in the future, let's say, by telling a game company somewhere that they are profiting from your models without your knowledge or consent, a strong license would be your primary weapon.

Works produced in oxygen are precluded from use in other games, I think, by the terms of use that oxygen comes with.
