So basically what you're saying is 1) it's inefficient that each creator has to separately ask for and keep track of the written permission to use a specific other creator's NC licensed var 2) it's inefficient that each creator has to separately respond to each such request instead of simply...

https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/var-licenses.18085/ Referencing a SA package (using as a dependency) does not require you to use the same license. It's only when you modify the SA licensed var that it matters

Why wouldn't it be ok though?

What was the answer?

My understanding is... 1. Permission is given by the CC BY license. Not implied, but explicitly given in the license terms. 2. Yes I agree. In the case of CC BY content, you have permission to redistribute the content based on the license itself. "I have received permission from the original...

Thank you, that sounds great. (y) Just to double check The answer to the first question is "No. It means changing the contents of your advertised var package." Or is it that clear cut? And the answer to second question is "No. You only need to update the Hub post when you want to advertise...

Fair enough. I just don't understand why it is a red flag I guess, i.e. what precisely is the potential harm. Do you have an example of what the unintended issues can be in VaM for the average user? As I explained, VaM already knows about the sub-dependencies through the meta.jsons of the first...

I have to have a way to upload work in progress downloads for my patrons to try out and provide feedback on before I advertise the content on the Hub. It is a critical part of the development process. I'm sure some kind of solution is possible - so please, don't just impose a strict policy that...

@AshAuryn Had to make some small edits, should've proofread before posting. Just tagging you here in case you're already reading

Okay. The wording confused me - when the announcement refers to ".var", it's actually referring to the content or resource and talking about a updating that. A ".var" is a file, e.g. everlaster.Something.1.var is a file. If I update a file, it's still everlaster.Something.1.var - if it wasn't...

To be super clear, does "update" in the part "If I modify or update my .var" mean "update my package with a new version"? As in, if I advertise a paid everlaster.Something.1.var resource, and publish an updated version everlaster.Something.2.var on Patreon, I must also update the Hub post?

To be fair, point 2 is not applicable - the first-tier dependencies already tell VAM what their dependencies are, so if the user downloads all dependencies that VAM complains are missing, there is no possibility of the content not working because of the sub-dependencies being deleted from the...

You're welcome (y). I don't know if there's a definition of "source code" that's specific to licensing, but Wikipedia offers a narrow definition which says it's the code that the programmers write, and a broader definition which includes even the machine code that is actually executed on the...

This is covered by NC license policy here: https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/new-non-commercial-nc-license-policy-enforcement.11860/ Most content isn't software, only plugins are software. But even plugins are content. The CC BY license that a VAM plugin is shared with applies to the package...

That does sound like something that could be confusing, but honestly, I don't think I've come across any case where someone was confused by that. I think pretty much everyone understands that referencing a package isn't building upon (= modifying) it. For the ND part, if someone doesn't want...

Time can be slowed down already in VAM with the time scale slider. Does that do the same thing?

The motherboard has barely any effect on performance - you're probably thinking of CPU / processor. Intel is generally a bit better in raw power per core when comparing the manufacturers overall, but AMD's X3D processors are very good for VAM as well. Ultimately I'd say it comes down to cost /...

It seems you understand SA perfectly well :) You're right, SA doesn't prevent paywalling. But that's just a technicality in my view because only non-NC non-SA CC licensed content can be relicensed to something that doesn't permit free distribution and then sold. This is the primary reason I...

I didn't even know that's possible. I thought the license tag is read directly from the meta.json file inside the var package. Is this official info or are you just making an educated guess?

@atani What's confusing about SA? I've always known that people use NC to prevent paywalling, but I've never agreed with that approach because of how much NC restricts use in any commercial context. In my estimate, SA would be effective at preventing paywalling, because if someone is going to...
