Agreed. I know my initial post was long -- it's that way because I think giving the community the deep reasoning behind changes is way more respectful than just foisting a change on them with little or no explanation. It's there for those who really want to know all that info (they exist) --...

Agreed. @clairebun this means you in particular, cut that out and don't stoop to that level. Pretty sure the discussion here has pretty much ran its course. I'd like to see myself not have to lock this thread for becoming, like, "report to clown on the latest drama." If anyone thinks they...

That's such a good capstone of a post that this thread could really end here, but I feel like there's one thing I would be negligent to not clear up. I was asleep for when most of this thread went down, but I saw quite a few posts analyzing the silly NDA thing he wrote, like there was a...

Yeah, I've been very prudent about not sharing the contents of that conversation like you asked. You thought it was important so I took it seriously. The fact that we HAVE SPOKEN is not private. Once again, who are you to criticize anyone for "lying", anyhow? You're the person who posted this...

I didn't even share the convo with staff.

Can't object to this thread 👍 I hate shutting conversations that are bound to happen anyways down. No clean way to really do it anyways. BTW @Banjo268 I don't believe in beating around the bush on this kind of stuff, I have a policy of being forthright about bans when people ask, but don't...

Hang on, if he's gonna act like this here you gotta give me an opportunity to respond. At some point it's going to start clicking with more and more people that for all the criticizing you like to do of others and their actions, you're actually one of the people most prone to the kind of weird...

Yeah, "to be on the safe side" is the funniest thing -- that level of "ummmmmm we don't ACTUALLY know" shouldn't even be on the table when dealing with licenses. The Linux kernel is another example: Linux is GPL, and everything based on Linux will interface with the GPL operating system, but...

I mean, to the best of my ability! This is just my current best understanding of the situation.

As I kind of expected from previous experience, none of these things reference the actual text of GPL 2.0 itself. 🤔 Like I said, I've read it very thoroughly. We do have some GPL issues that currently exist floating around the community (they've been on my mind to resolve even if it isn't...

Source? That's a pretty large claim and as someone who has read GPL v2.0 with a veritable magnifying glass, I'm not sure where it talks about that.

And that's pretty much what Pika was talking about. That is NOT the topic of this thread, move along please.

This will never happen. Doing this wouldn't make some open asset utopia; it'd just chase away a lot of creators who justifiably don't want their work to be open season for others. That's a LOT of people to chase away, and for what end? Less stuff?

If someone feels that strongly about not wanting to be associated with their old work, better solutions are: A: Just ask to be taken OUT of the credits. B: Ask for additional accomodations to make sure people know you aren't responsible for it (like a splash screen or something) But the actual...

The past few years have been witness to a lot of strong opinions, tension, and argument over the reusability system. The first thing this post is about is just that: The reusability system, why it was created, why it held an important role, what it has succeeded at, and what it has failed at...
