RACER USAGE - READ BEFORE MODIFYING SOURCE CODE
|
|
|
|
The programs and source code of the Racer project are copyright of Ruud van
|
|
Gaal, Dolphinity, 2000-2001.
|
|
All rights reserved. Publishing of included material without prior written
|
|
permission of the author is prohibited.
|
|
|
|
Publishing of material downloadable here may however be done on a
|
|
non-commericial basis. In this case, I would appreciate it if you send me a
|
|
note regarding where you make available the material.
|
|
|
|
Use of any of the published source code in commercial software is explicilty
|
|
NOT allowed without prior written permission. Distributions on Linux
|
|
distributions (as is done on SuSE8.0 for example) IS however allowed. Use of
|
|
(parts of) the source code in non-commercial software is allowed however.
|
|
For commercial usage, licensing may be an option, for which you can contact
|
|
the author.
|
|
|
|
This is NOT an Open Source project, although many people think so. You CAN
|
|
contribute to the source if you want (or cannot resist), but all changes
|
|
will go through me to the master source code. This is done to ensure quality
|
|
and consistent style for instance. Also, parts of Racer (the QLib/D3
|
|
libraries) are used in other projects, and changing the source code of this
|
|
would be counterproductive for the other products that use these libraries.
|
|
Therefore, the decision has been made not to OpenSource the source code.
|
|
Realise that the copyrights will stay at Dolphinity, so for many people this
|
|
will mean that they won't contribute to the source. This is ok to me, the
|
|
product seems not large enough to need the whole world to aid in developing
|
|
(except for the contents; cars & tracks). To add to the Racer project and
|
|
maintain control, it is advised to create separate executables, which may
|
|
use parts of the source code, but are not completely separately usable
|
|
products. This means you can create a Replay Analyzer which uses track code
|
|
from the Racer source code, but that you may NOT create a complete racing
|
|
game based on a specific era for example, and distribute this commercially
|
|
as a separate product.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions on the usage of the materials presented in the
|
|
Racer site, please contact me.

No SCGT tracks can and will be found on this website. You are (probably) not
|
|
allowed to post directly converted tracks onto your website, but you can
|
|
upload Racer-specific files (but not the images and directly converted DOF
|
|
models).
