Code Permission

Hi,

I'm the author of PCMod and I was wondering if I could use some code from the WireMod STools. The WireMod team will recieve full credit, of course. The code I require is mostly ghosted entity stuff.

Wiremod is released under GPL. That means that you can use code from it as long as you release the derivative work under GPL.

And you shouldn't have any problem if you just look at the code, feel free to ask if you want, but it's probably easier if you look at the code of another tool, it is pretty self-explanatory.

It's under Lesser GPL, is that a problem?

[itsbth]

Yes/No. While you can license the other parts under LGPL, you have to "upgrade" the license to GPL while you are using code from Wire. So, if the parts from Wire is vital to the addon, that will be a problem.

Or just write one yourself, it is not exactly the most complex thing ever created

I strongly suggest we move WireMod on beerware license.
I'm serious guys, beer supply for rest of your life is worth that.
