[Not A Bug] Question about the License and Legal Section in the Readme #2208
Comments
I originally released the project under no license (a.k.a Un-license) because I wasn't sure how to license the code. We later had clarification and decided to specify the code should not be used for commercial purposes since it is based on Blizzard's original code. More specifically devilution is a preservation of the original code under the interoperability clause, so technically it's being provided purely for academic/research purposes. |
Gotcha. |
yes |
Any update? |
This issue has now been resolved, thank you for the patience. |
Hello,
I was interested in this project, was looking around and noticed a conflict in the 'legal' docs.
This is not a big issue for me I think that the most recent doc, the README, has more weight than the LICENSE file.
Maybe this can be improved/ clarified.
