Did YoYo change something? Am I missing something? I'm not trying to necro just to necro, but here's my very related issue:
It's been a couple years since I actually
published anything using GM, but today, I started the usually quick legal prep for a limited distribution alpha. However, I can't find any semblance of the EULA I'm used to seeing. This is for GameMaker Studio 1.4 thus shouldn't be anything earth-shatteringly new, yet these all appear to be the same:
- GameMaker-Studio folder, License.txt
- GameMaker-Studio/Licenses folder, YoYo_License.txt
- GM IDE (on load) -> Licenses tab -> YoYo License
The familiar 3.4. which iirc had only nominally changed since way back with Mark Overmars, (and which
@FrostyCat posted above a mere six months ago, some eight months
after the above license texts' date,) is nowhere to be found...
the only license I could find (in section 3.4.) said:
Responsibility for Publisher Property. Publishers are responsible for how their Publisher Property is displayed and marketed via the YYG Platforms. We take no responsibility or liability for Publisher Property or how they are displayed or marketed, what they do or do not contain or how they perform. All such issues should be addressed further in the relevant EULA (which will be either the YoYo Games Platforms Default Publisher EULA or the relevant publisherās own EULA, depending on which the relevant Publisher has chosen to apply) and in any event are a matter for you and the Publisher.
This looks closer to my memory of how the Marketplace EULA ran when I almost had something there a few years ago.
Does anyone know where the expected license is? -- or does anyone know for
certain that YYG changed it when I wasn't looking? Going by that text and
@Nocturne's
help desk article from nearly two years ago, ("you
may wish to include your own EULA" emp. mine,) it appears YYG no longer obligates us to even include an EULA, let alone that we must identify YYG, our inclusion of software thereby, and the rights thereof. Or, maybe I'm just too tired to be researching this and missed something obvious? $:^ .
Thank you in advance for any case-closing answers,
Bob
