Bohemia Interactive Content Licenses

[Edge 2]

Hello, mod makers, Bohemia Interactive has just released new (Arma) content licenses. We would like to encourage you to use them to license your work, and of course, we are releasing our sample models and game data from the past Arma installments under these licenses.

The content licenses are established by Bohemia Interactive a.s. in order to support the creative community evolving around its titles, and to set the clear rules for the use of both Bohemia Interactive's and the user-made content. The licenses cover the publicly available Arma data and their use by the community for their own works, as it is our best interest to allow the community to build upon our data. Also, every mod maker is encouraged to use these licenses for their own creations or derivatives of the game data provided by Bohemia Interactive a.s.

You can check them all at http://www.bistudio.com/english/community/licenses. Brief summary follows:
