License?

Question

License?

justinkb opened this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

Just wondering what kind of license you are distributing the stuff in this repo under?

Do you have any objection if I adapt craft.sh into a nix package? This would necessitate publishing it (the nix pkg) under MIT licensing.

I don't mind putting the stuff under MIT and the keg submodule is MIT already. Obviously this will only apply for the files in this repo and I assume you don't plan to package the proprietary game files.

No, I will mark the package with license.unfree, which makes the package manager aware the package may not be redistributed (it won't be cached by any continuous integration system that may be involved), so every user who wants to build the package, has to have the build system download the stuff via keg themselves.

Okay, that should work out, although I would probably simply remove the building out of the script and package it together with keg to have something like the runtime files or a launcher for the game that is capable of downloading the game and updating it without having to rebuild and reinstall the package again and again for every update.

I won't get into the details of nix, but I have a pretty nix-idiomatic design in mind. I'm gonna decompose the package into three separate parts. With how advanced the nix package manager is, with that design, it would be simpler for users to have grabbing the files integrated. I still have to make it work, by the way. The unity player uses libraries not declared as NEEDED in the elf header, so I have to figure out that stuff first. On nixos you usually need to create a wrapper for such binaries since libraries aren't installed globally but in an isolated manner. (In fact /lib doesn't even exist)

Okay, no problem, feel free to report back when you manage to get it working. I've also thought about whether it's worth creating an AUR pkgbuild or snap package, but haven't done it yet.
