Copyright and Licensing

"Third party mods" refer to mods or modpacks originally created outside of Skyblock: Zero included as git submodules or forks. Some of these third party mods did not credit all of the involved people in the work itself, preferring to point at the git history. This is not changed, following the authors' wishes.

Generally, source code of original Skyblock: Zero mods are licensed under GPL-3.0-only by various contributors. Source code of third party mods has changes under the same license as the original work to allow easy remixing with the rest of the Luanti community as it's the exact same license as the original work. Skyblock: Zero is an aggregate necessarily conveyed under GPL-3.0-only; the third party mods keep their original licenses within this work.

Images, sounds and 3D models collectively referred to as assets or media introduced for Skyblock: Zero are licensed under a Creative Commons license (defaulting to CC BY-SA 4.0) or the same license of the original work. The most restrictive media license is CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY-SA 3.0. Forked/Modified third party mods usually have some assets replaced or removed from the original mod hence those assets are detached completely from the original mod's licensing.

"Technical changes" refer to strictly functional, non-transformative De Minimis changes as opposed to transformative changes that would be eligible for copyright. Examples includes minor text reformatting, typo fixes, indentation changes, size optimizations, file format transcoding, near lossless transformations, and metadata stripping. These changes are not mentioned, implying that technical changes occured.

In each both original mods and forked third party mods, there is a COPYRIGHT.md file containing more detailed copyright information.

• 🔴 means the mod features risky/improper licensing of a category of work. e.g. images licensed as GPL-3.0 make little sense is generally risky to use.
• If you find any copyright information errors/inaccuracies, please make an issue or a pull request correcting it.
• Table sorted by this logic:
  1. Modified work is prioritized.
  2. More restrictive source code licenses are prioritized.

Mods likely to be converted to git submodules:

• travelnet
• player_monoids
• replacer
• signs_lib
• smartshop
• hbsprint
• voxelmodel
• screwdriver
• vizlib

Contributing

Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md. If unsure, you can always ask for help either in Github or in Discord :)

Direction

• Make luacontrollers better
• Switch away from, or heavily modify signs_lib, without being backwards incompatible with signs from previous versions of sbz
  • Things like rendering text without it being on a sign is impossible i think? which is horrible
• Rely more on stubes than pipeworks
• better tree code
• better planets
