Programming / Re: game licence (need help)

I'm very glad that someone took my question seriously.

After I read what Jo said I have to agree with him; I was trying to bypass all this long documents for a common gain but it doesn't mean it might end up good.

Ok, here's how situation looks, people contributing to game have different requirements:

Code:
* yes for using it for other project/game (no credits needed)
* yes for forks/similar games (credit required)
* no for commercial usage

Tiles:
* yes for modification/additions for game purposes (credit needed)
* yes for forks (credit needed)
* no for anything else (including commercial)

Graphics:
* yes for in game usage/modification (no credit)
* yes for forks (credit needed)
* yes for private usage
* no for commercial

Music:
* only for specified in game purpose (credits included)

Game is free
I don't have money nor time to fight with law-related issues
game is sweden-poland-usa-germany co-op


What would you suggest?
Also: many thanks to everyone for suggestions/advices!

Using already existing licenses was my first guess. However, other people contributing to the project have specified in details which they allow and which they don't (this doesn't correspond to most licenses' core). Moreover I personally find this old-school licenses to be too long and vague to provide simple information.

Programming / game licence (need help)

« on: October 18, 2012, 02:34:57 PM »

Hi everyone,

I am contributing to a roguelike game and I am now preparing a short game licence. Is there someone out there with at least little knowledge in this field and enough English skills to read through game licence and tell me if everything is fine?
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
