I hardly doubts that using (or leaking) their SDK API would put you into legal trouble. GLib uses some win32 API (on Windows) already although it requires a user agreement license to use. That said, I strongly encourage you to verify if you are allowed to do this. Le lundi 11 juillet 2016 à 17:41 +0300, Aleksandr Palamar a écrit :
Even if that would violate licence from Sony and Microsoft? Obviously, sharing that code with someone who already has license from them to use their API is not a problem at all. But sharing that code with those who don't have such license will put me into trouble with that companies, but even if people will have those sources - they are useless without previous agreement with Sony/Microsoft and their SDK. That's the one of the moments that kind of preventing me to look into Vala more seriously in view of professional game development. I never know where it will end. The thing is - I have bunch of old code that I may to do some refactoring - go from old C code into C++ with bunch of own new and old bicycles or just went with Vala step by step, maybe even ending with helping community in places where I may be useful. But even how much I don't like C++ as the language, at least I know I won't have any license headache later. Vala looks way better in comparison, but the license of it's core runtime... That was the whole point of the subject. On Jul 11, 2016 5:25 PM, "Jens Georg" <mail jensge org> wrote:But If I would need to patch GLib to work on PS4 or XBONE? I doubt thatthose platforms will allow me to share usage of their internal API. Can I keep those patch closed and share them only with people who has licenses for PS4 and XONE (you aren't able to put that patch in anyway if you are just standard customer and user of the console and not the developer) so they would able to use that new code as well, but not with others, because that may violate license of console platforms.No. Because you're patching (L)GPL code you would have to grant access to the modified sources _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list_______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
