I don't even know if [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Dirk Nordhusen 2008")] should or should not remain as it is. Basically the portion of the game that keeps track of the tempo(when to play the next sound). It is a small amount of code but complicated. If I should leave it in I will leave it in (as of now it is still there). He does deserve credit for his work, but at the same time it would be nice if I could put my own copyright on this Tracker program. For that reason I would prefer it not being BSD. I would prefer it being GPU purity much just because it would be a little bit of a burn if some one changed my code just a little bit and then made a closed source program from it. But I guess I will bug DiNoGames in a PM and see if he cares at all.
I will probably be releasing a new version in one or two days and I will try to have the license stuff clear in the next version or at least by the end of the week. |
Ask him to make it BSD and put
both copyright notices in the header of each file, e.g.:
Code:
/* filename.cs
* Modifications copyright (c) 2009 badmoodguy88.
* Original copyright (c) 2008 Dirk Nordhusen.
*
* <BSD license text goes here>
*/
The AssemblyCopyrightAttribute doesn't really matter, but you could put
Copyright (c) 2009 badmoodguy88/Dirk Nordhusen.
