Ok, both SFC3.NET and SFU are working on Shipyard Databases. We are sharing ideas and information, so I figured I'd post this for the benefit of both site projects.
So far, I have come up with 4 'User Agreements' that the modeler can choose, summarized below, that a user will have to agree to in order to download. The real agreement will be complete to protect the modeler's 'property' of course and will include emailing the modeler, proper crediting, etc.
1)Open License - The model can be kitbashed and ported to other games.
2)Kitbash License - The model can be kitbashed, but may not be ported to other games.
3)Porting License - The model can be ported to other games unmodified. No kitbashing allowed.
4)Closed License - Neither kitbash or porting is allowed.
A text field will be present for additional policies.
Any comments, additions, etc?
