What is the licence of the Wiimmfi ISO Patcher script

Sepalani · 11. Dezember 2022, 08:47

Hello @Wiimm, @Leseratte,

I'd like to create a customised ISO patcher script based on the Wiimmfi Patcher scripts.
However, I wasn't able to find the licensing for said scripts so I assumed these were similar to WIT being GPL-v2+.

The source will be redistributed and is as follows:
github.com/sepalani/MH3SP-patcher/pull/2/files

Do you have any objections or licensing issues?

Regards,

Sepalani

GPL v2 or later.
You can freely use and modify it as long you tell that I'm the creator.

I didn't removed the authorship/copyright notice so that part should be alright. Thanks for the information.

Not exactly. If the scripts are GPL-v2 (as Wiimm said) then that's not compatible with AGPL-3.0 (the rest of your repo). It'd need to be "GPL-v2 or later" for that. I don't think Wiimm has an issue with that (making his scripts GPL-v2-or-later); i just wanted to let you know.

Though, I don't think the rest of your repo is a derivative of the patcher scripts so all that would need to be done is for the SPDX identifier to be changed to GPL v2 only, and a text file with the GPL-v2 being added to the repo.

IIRC, WIT is GPL-v2 or later according to its GitHub repository. Regardless, you're right, I should add the GPLv2 LICENSE file, update the SPDX identifier and the main README.MD to clarify that this third-party program is using a slightly different licence. Thanks for the clarification.

WIT is, that's correct, but the scripts used in the ISO patcher aren't, at least according to Wiimms post above.

I mean: GPL v2 or later (same as SZS and WIT Tools).
