People who's works are/aren't open source!
« on: August 31, 2007, 10:11:43 PM »
Edit: This list can also be found at Random Select here: http://randomselect.i-xcell.com/forum/index.php?topic=3844.0 -Excursion

Preamble: Below is a list of circumctances that was agreed upon by various individuals in the Mugen community not particularly affiliated with Infinity. It is understood that you may edit any Mugen character for your own private use but if you end up using any creators material without permission for public use (even if the creator is gone from mugen for any length of time) you will be held responsible for any negative ramifications of your actions. As far as Infinity is concerned, a years absence is NOT enough time to consider a work abandoned. - Acey 05/30/08

Under the following circumstances however you are allowed to use or modify parts from another creator's character if:

# The creator and all his or her works have been offline for approximately a year.
# There is no contact to reach or representative for said person to reach regarding hosting of said works, and there is no previous indication of denial to use said parts or modify said character
# Said work is not private and leaked online (thus, no Blaque)
# If the creator returns and demands removal of said work, you comply immediately.
# The work is not a fully edited character (see: Rikard's work, excludes Evil Dan conversely) to the point of originality, or made of original sprites entirely (see: Borghi's work).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With these amendments to the rules in mind, it would seem reasonable (at least to me) to have a list of "ok to edit and distribute" characters. This is an accumulative effort, as my knowledge of different creators are limited. You, the people, must fill this list. So, just as there is an unrequestables list, here's one for "abandoned" characters. Please make a mention as to whether or not the creator is active or not. Suggestions welcome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to an inability to reach their creators and/or the fact that the works have been offline for around a year or more, these creations can be safely edited and distributed. In other words, Open Source.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character (Creator Name)

Ken X and Ryu X (LimitedMoon) (Can be reached through Kung Fu Man, though)

All characters made by these people are Open Sourced due to rules.


Matheus







Also, to spread the word, here is a list of people who are currently active or "retired" and are known to have Open Sourced characters. If there's only a certain part of a character that is open source, make sure to mention it.

Punctuation and capitalization can make the difference between "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse," and, "I helped my uncle jack off a horse."

92% of people have moved onto rap. If you're part of the 8% who thinks rap isn't music, sucks to be you.

Most newer stuff sucks, though.

Could you mention if the creator is still active or not?

Kung Fu Man's Readme says you can edit him and distribute his files as edited.

Ummm..... All of POTS Creations are open source? Why?

Panzer: You might split that into two sections. One being known open source, another being open source due to the rules.

known open source additions:
-Mouser
-TestP

Due to the rules:
-Thomas Hsieh

Btw, there's been some confusion about these three: they are not open source and are still around:
-TheNecromancer/FlowaGirl
-Deuce
-BigEliKing

Actually, the list *is* split into 2 sections.

Ah my bad. MM should go in the confirmed open-source section then given what Anzai said.

Thomas Hsieh made note of for open source under rules.

Didn't know Eli was "back".

Don't know what to do with that list of creators with closed sourced characters. This was meant as a list for open sourced characters, and a list of closed sourced creations would probably be too large.

But I'll see what I can think of.

shoudn't all of the Mrev teams stuff be on this list too? Regarding Scar's MvC spawn, don't force him to release it (that being said, yes I would like to haev his spawn as well), he will release it if he wants to.

Hold it.

Jin, MystikBlaze, and MRev all stated no in readmes at the very least: that still counts as a given they don't go on here (readme states no, it is still no unless they state otherwise at a later time). JinKazama's still around too: last we heard, he was working on a MK game.
