a Breach of License

4 months ago

Hello Merltech,
Your developments onto warptorio2 are in breach of license because of insufficient transformation.

The whole point of the license I selected is to prevent and avoid ambiguity as to which version of the mod is the 'latest version', however the developments you have made, and particularly your publication of those developments, have single-handedly driven an unfair increase of that ambiguity. I invite you to discuss with me on the official warptorio2 discord https://discord.gg/a9CNarA as to how we might be able to work together in future to make warptorio the best that it can be.

If you would like to take warptorio and transform it in a direction you would like: please do so with substantial changes, instead of minor changes to the warp platform layout. Additional harvester platforms is not substantial enough of a change to justify a re-release of the same mod, and this will only serve to create confusion among everyone.

If you're curious, I would like to direct your attention to how the platform layouts have been isolated to a single lua file, platform_classic.lua. It is my intention that developers should be able to extend the platform with 3rd party mods like this one, but it is a very difficult and unsolved problem. Things such as additional harvester platforms have a fair amount of loose hanging code there and we might be able to help each other.

In summary, it is my intention that custom platform layouts should be made by 3rd party mods, this is acceptable under the warptorio2 license, however the changes you have made in order to justify a greater version is not desirable for anyone.

I would appreciate open dialogue with you if you are interested to make even cooler things going forwards.

Was there ever any resolution from this?

I am very much a fan of the two extra warp harvester platforms, but I agree the amount added didn't truly justify being called Warptorio 3. I was even writing a guide and blueprint book on how I would play this mod, incorporating all of the harvester platforms (and getting up to 14 blue belts of any ore from one patch!).

But if this mod is in breach of license, it's not playable, and that makes me sad. Of course, I feel with 2.0 around the corner, this issue is likely on everyone's back burners...
