Open source: OnslaughtX (contradicts readmes, but final word from him was his stuff is open source), Sepp, Zeldagis296 (must include readme)

*Not* open source: Third and M@ppy. Found this out hunting down their stuff sadly. Shame too.

Btw, LimitedMoon...I'm his official host, so generally if anything needs to be reached about him it'll end up through me. o_O

NeoKamek's creations are open-source, unless something specific (parts of Reiko were made by XCB) isn't by him (found out by the characters readme).

Don Drago's characters

(RBS Geese all in one, Ken 4 in 1, Geese 4 in 1)

are ALL OPEN-OPEN Source.

Open source - basically you still have to give credit
Open Open Source - The heck with the credit... yes I am not kidding. I've talked to Don Drago about this. I still give credit if ever i use an Open Open Source material especially from one of my associates XD.

Yep, any part of any of Don Drago's characters has I asked him are free to use for anyone. Sprites, coding, AI code (definitely a great have for future AI coders/creators).

I don't know about the hosting/distribution on his chars though. I'll talk to him whether he will allow almost anyone to host his chars or not.

Also, I would need some clarifications if Kurai Naito's characters or more specifically coding and such are also open-source... or does it he have parameters on it.

And as always Jesuszilla's works are definitely NOT open source. the same with his associate Vans.

DG's stuff is open source apparently (i was going to keep this to myself, be thankful i didn't.)
you do still have to ask, but unless you're a bad mugen person, he'll always say yes.

I could have been the same thing in regards to Don Drago's open-open source creations...

but since Don already told it in MI and probably in MGBR and Mugen-hispania bout his open open source policy, I'll tell it here for keeps.

the funny thing also is that if you do manage to use any of Don Drago's characters, one way that will either make him angry (like most mugen creators would be if any bad crap happens to their character) or point at your face and laugh at you is when you do use like say Geese or Ken 4 in 1, modify it a lot or a little, and claim its your character and say "This is my char, please DO NOT MODIFY"

I don't know if I can really say that his stuff would be open source, even if he'll generally say yes.
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.

in the email he sent me, he said, "my chars are free, you can use it", that sounds like open source to me.

Alright. I just didn't want to add something that wasn't really open source, and I don't count it if you have to ask to use it.

oh well, take him off the list then, because you do have to ask, he'll just always say yes.

If you release just the SFF no. That's a patch. If you release the character with that SFF, then it's a sprite swap, which is akin to as you mentioned a palette swap (or worse sometimes...see God Ryu...)

so would patches be an allowed release?

Quote from Alchemist before the topic was removed from M.I:

Quote
Just like to say that ONLY Sakura Plus and Cammy(mvc2) are opensource, anyone else WILL become opensource once they are completed, so this will prevent anyone finishing my work before me due to time constrictions, as a matter of fact I wouldn't mind someone completing Sakura since I had a HDD crash, so KFM could you just state that in the list plz, thanks

I need to check something with you all...Lots of creators are listed on as closed source...so if i want to edit one of their chars(let`s say,turn Tetsu into Silent Storm for real) and release it to the public,i`ll need to get the permission to do that here right?or it`s not even allowed to release that edit,even with permission?

If you get permission you'll be fine. Though if you have that example you mentioned in mind you probably could forget it ;P

Iyowa: Thanks for the head's up, when RS is up I'll fix that entry on the list over there too.

Thanks i just wanted to know that,altough the example i put was not the best of all...
 >:-(-|Besides,i don`t know (yet) how to code a char or rip sprites,due to lack of time,it will not be possible to do it at the moment,but i`m pretty sure that with the open source stuff avail and the docs,i could learn a couple of things right?

Had no idea Mugen was this serious  #:-S

Yes,it`s kinda serious for a freeware game...but we have codes in here to follow :rulez:
Some others don`t give a crap about those "rules" or internal codes,and that`s when sh*t happens and creators quit for good...

There is content of several creators and editors in my chars (i know i only relased ryu so far), some in open some in not open so better clear this out to avoid problems (i would count on the open source side but guys like H wouldnt) so:

My CODE is open source, everything else, ask me so i can redirect you.

like my code was that great XD, someone let kfm know plz cause im not a member in that forum
