So your basically saying to just keep it off of this site, Uzeil can continue posting his on his UzeForum and other people can continue posting theirs on Gzp, Mb, Gzn, MPC, etc.

i dont really care what you know i know and dont.

Sure they can, but that's none of my business because I am not a part of those sites and those aren't official CE sites.

She's treating me as if I'm a special case and have perfect reason to not give out my source, and yet she's basically trying to tell everyone that if they had access to their .exe, then they get to request the source code. No matter the case, no matter how much they've done to depart from CE, etc etc etc.

That includes it being on their site, unless their site is private.

For instance, I can make a private subforum on my site to release new versions in, and only give access to the people who I trust not to request the source. As long as no one gets my engine based from CE that is going to ask for the source, I'm safe.

Thanks for the awareness!

The only 'major' thing ignoring the open source part of the license does is losing support from several members of the CE community that know how the source works, and removal of this forum and perhaps other sites as well.

Also, when you release your binary you don't have to put the source with it, it only means that if someone aks you for the source for a binary they obtained, you are obliged to give him/her the sourcecode (you could be an ass and print it out and ask for payment for the ammount of paper and the shipping costs)
And of course, it's a matter of good courtesy if you just put the source up on the site...

Sarcasm on the 'thanks for the awareness', sure.

I wasn't being sarcastic when I was talking about... everything you said was correct, basically.

When I was talking about being on a private site, I meant they would only have to give the source to someone who requests it that is allowed access. Simply providing RCE makers an easy way out of getting their code jacked. I wasn't saying that it was a way of getting around giving it to people that have access to the .exe

Edit:
DB: Thanks for the printing idea Smile

Another form of hope.

Yep, but you can only request for up to 2.2 (which I don't actually have anymore). Which has bugs you won't be able to fix, and you know I would make it a completely unreasonable process for getting the source.

I'd also have to delete fixes at random, and delete entire forms, chunks of code, and unrewrite a lot of code to it's old shitty structure. Just so I can then irritate you more with how tough it would be to get the source, and remind you that you're the reason that v3.0 will never be released publicly to any extent.

It's the internet, things said can be interpreted many different ways.
