NOTE: This game has been retroactively relicensed with a
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.

INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR

License

THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE
WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS
PROHIBITED.

BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS
YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

1. Definitions

   1. "Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue,
   anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
   unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions,
   constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are
   assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a
   Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
   defined below) for the purposes of this License.
   2. "Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the
   Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical
   arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture
   version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment,
   condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast,
   transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
   Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the
   purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work
   is a musical composition or sound recording, the synchronization of
   the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be
   considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
   3. "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work
   under the terms of this License.
   4. "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
   Work.
   5. "Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under
   the terms of this License.
   6. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
   License who has not previously violated the terms of this License
   with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission
   from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a
   previous violation.
   7. "License Elements" means the following high-level license
   attributes as selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of
   this License: Attribution, Noncommercial, ShareAlike.

2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce,
limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or
other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under
copyright law or other applicable laws.

3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:

   1. to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
   Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
   Collective Works;
   2. to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
   3. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
   perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
   transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective
   Works;
   4. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
   perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
   transmission Derivative Works;

The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights
in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by
Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights
set forth in Sections 4(e) and 4(f).

4. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly
made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

   1. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
   publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this
   License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
   Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the
   Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
   publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
   on the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the
   recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not
   sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to
   this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not
   distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
   digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
   control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the
   terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as
   incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the
   Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to
   the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon
   notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
   remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or
   the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work,
   upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
   remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or
   the Original Author, as requested.
   2. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
   publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms
   of this License, a later version of this License with the same
   License Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons
   license that contains the same License Elements as this License
   (e.g. Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Japan). You must
   include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this
   License or other license specified in the previous sentence with
   every copy or phonorecord of each Derivative Work You distribute,
   publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
   perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative
   Works that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the
   recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and You must
   keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
   disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display,
   publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Derivative Work
   with any technological measures that control access or use of the
   Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License
   Agreement. The above applies to the Derivative Work as incorporated
   in a Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work
   apart from the Derivative Work itself to be made subject to the
   terms of this License.
   3. You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section
   3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed
   toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The
   exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of
   digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be
   intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private
   monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary
   compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
   4. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
   publicly digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or
   Collective Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for
   the Work and give the Original Author credit reasonable to the
   medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or
   pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the
   title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably
   practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor
   specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
   refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the
   Work; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying
   the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French
   translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based
   on original Work by Original Author"). Such credit may be
   implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in
   the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such
   credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit
   appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other
   comparable authorship credit.
   5.

      For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
      composition:
      1. Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor
      reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or
      via a performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC),
      royalties for the public performance or public digital
      performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work if that performance is
      primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage
      or private monetary compensation.
      2. Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor reserves
      the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
      music rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency),
      royalties for any phonorecord You create from the Work ("cover
      version") and distribute, subject to the compulsory license
      created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or the
      equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your distribution of such
      cover version is primarily intended for or directed toward
      commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.
   6. Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of
   doubt, where the Work is a sound recording, Licensor reserves the
   exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
   performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the
   public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to
   the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of the US
   Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your
   public digital performance is primarily intended for or directed
   toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.

5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer

UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING,
LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF
TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY,
OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. Limitation on Liability.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT
OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. Termination

   1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
   automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this
   License. Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works
   or Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not
   have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
   entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1,
   2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
   2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
   here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in
   the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right
   to release the Work under different license terms or to stop
   distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such
   election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other
   license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the
   terms of this License), and this License will continue in full
   force and effect unless terminated as stated above.

8. Miscellaneous

   1. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work
   or a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a
   license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
   granted to You under this License.
   2. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
   Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
   original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
   granted to You under this License.
   3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
   under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
   enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and
   without further action by the parties to this agreement, such
   provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make
   such provision valid and enforceable.
   4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and
   no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
   writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or
   consent.
   5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
   parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
   understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
   Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
   additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
   You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
   agreement of the Licensor and You.

Creative Commons is not a party to this License, and makes no warranty
whatsoever in connection with the Work. Creative Commons will not be
liable to You or any party on any legal theory for any damages
whatsoever, including without limitation any general, special,
incidental or consequential damages arising in connection to this
license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) sentences, if Creative
Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor hereunder, it
shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.

Except for the limited purpose of indicating to the public that the
Work is licensed under the CCPL, neither party will use the trademark
