Re: DMCA for WorldCraft 3D.
The CDB itself is open source (like the master server). So there is absolutely no problem in providing customers/users with an own version of the CDB (and/or server list).
This is pretty much the opposite of censorship.

Doesn't need to be compatible. For singleplayer and server CC BY-NC works as license.Chiantos wrote:but the fact that the NC is not compatible with the LGPL.
I don't want to create my own project. I want to publish my mods, because I wrote them anyway and want to publish them for other server admins or singleplay users. Just because I'm pleasant.Chiantos wrote:nothing prevents you from creating your own project as I do, it's OpenSource.
Isn't incompatible. Content db isn't advertised. And still if, I think content db only links github.Chiantos wrote:But if you distribute under an incompatible license with ContentDB
Sure. I won't support forks with ads. Either I'm allowed on content db or not. I won't change my license. I fight against forks. Just accept it.Chiantos wrote:There is no question of ethics or morals here
And you can't compare me with forks. Forks violating the license by not linking that's a minetest project. And forks making money with no effort(For me that's moralic inacceptable). I just want to publish my mods. I'm doing nothing illegal or morally reprehensible. And if you disallow that I can publish my mods, then you will damage server owners and singleplayer users. You don't damage me in a way. Just ask every server admin and singleplayer user. They don't care about licenses. But they are angry if you disallow my mods. Because it's for them indifferent what license my mods have. As long as they are free for server usage, they will be glad to have less coding effort.
As programmer I agree. But not as a normal minetest player, who's testing and using minetest mods. And nobody forces you to use NC code. But it does not hurt anyone if I publish my mods. On the contrary. Many people can use them.Chiantos wrote:I would never use a code that is NC licensed
That's not an argument. You can use only one content db simultaneously. And be honest, 99% of the normal minetest players didn't even know, they can change the content db.Linuxdirk wrote:with an own version of the CDB
And still, I don't want to fork anything. I just want to help players with my still existing mods. And in this case, my license doesn't care.

Re: DMCA for WorldCraft 3D.
That's irrelevant, whether the players care about the license or not. Evidently some will give a shit about the license, others will. The reality is that Minetest has a GPL License. Perhaps your players won't mind if you make it more restrictive in your mods. But Minetest as a community, as an organism, does.And in this case, my license doesn't care.
Minetest has to defend its principles that it is a free game, but not free of charge, but free to do whatever you want with it. And if you cut that freedom with more restrictive licenses on your mods, you're betraying the spirit of the Open Source. And that can't be consented to. Not for nothing, but because then will come those who want to sell their proprietary mods and will also say that they have the right to use Contentdb.

(That link is on every page of CDB)
I host it, but that doesn't mean I have the sole decision-making power over it. The rest of the core developer team may be involved as much as they wish. In practice, no one seems to want to put any effort into checking and reviewing it.runs wrote:The only thing I find incongruent is that contentdb belongs to only one person, the decision is exclusive to rubenwardy.
There is one caveat - I refuse to host pornographic material, and if that was mandated then I'd stop hosting ContentDB.
I understand what you mean, but I would like to point out the contentdb_url setting in minetest.conf: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... mple#L3018runs wrote:ContentDB is hard-coded within Minetest (accessed through a button)
The only reason this is the case is that Debian and other distros mandate it. If we showed nonfree stuff by default, Minetest would be marked as nonfree. This default setting should be made more clever, and default to showing nonfree stuff on Windows and Android, but I never got around to doing that. It would also require showing the licenses and a non-free warning in-menu.TalkLounge wrote:Of course the content db hasn't a big censorship. But let the people publish the mods, but don't show them is more censorship, than terms of service.
When it would be terms of service, you would forbid closed license and don't allow them, but don't show them.
Re: DMCA for WorldCraft 3D.
Come on, man, I ain't got nothing on you. As you say, talking doesn't kill anyone. I'd have a joint with you to make me laugh, but we're not friends.
So go well, buddy.

Forbid coarse language isn't the same like ban a license. Every mod needs a license, but you forbid some licenses, so you want that people will publish the mods under a specific license and don't have the freedom of all license. That's pressure with no reason, except that forks can use them in future as well and earn money with it.runs wrote:no sex
And licenses can be changed. The topic of a mod not.
In future all mods will be loaded over content db and not by adding them manual over the forum.runs wrote:Simply that contentdb is not the right place.
If the minetest community would fight against forks, that are illegal, because violating the license, there would be no problem to use a more free license(Almost no app in google play links that it's a minetest project).runs wrote:Are you confusing a license that is something legal with the moral that refers to the branch of philosophy that is ETHICS?
But that didn't happen, so I need to use my legal weapons to fight against them, by using a more closed license. And if the publisher on google play would be more respectful and pay a bit of money back to minetest, there would be no reason for me to use more closed licenses.
Only when the moral is no longer working you need to have rules. And in this case, I use a more closed license.
If everyone would be kind, the world wouldn't need rules.
Of course the content db hasn't a big censorship. But let the people publish the mods, but don't show them is more censorship, than terms of service.rubenwardy wrote:This is insulting to all the people who receive actual, real, and oppressive censorship
When it would be terms of service, you would forbid closed license and don't allow them, but don't show them.
But it's important to discuss about that. That will change the future of minetest, if closed licenses are allowed or not.runs wrote:PS: I cannot ban anything. I am nothing here :-D
