Released under the respect the work of the original author license.

|

-------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
The source code for RomVault has been released for the benefit of the emulation community.
|
||
|
|
This means you should ask yourself if you make a change/improvement/branch of this code, does your changes
|
||
|
|
also benefit the emulation community? If so then please give back to the community in a respectful way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What does giving back to the community in a respectful way mean:
|
||
|
|
Ideally it means contribute your changes back to the author of the source, so that your changes can be worked into the main build.
|
||
|
|
If you make a reasonably large change that you think others will benefit from put out your own branches for other people to try,
|
||
|
|
and then maybe this can also be worked into the main code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It means DO NOT make a small change/fix, re-brand the program and claim you are the greatest developer ever for releasing 'your' software.
|
||
|
|
This type of behaviour is disrespectful to the original author and the emulation community, and is against the nature of this license.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use large parts of this code (such as the DAT reader or torrentZip library) in your own project go right ahead,
|
||
|
|
I hope you can do something cool with this code to add to or improve your new and existing projects. Please let the author know how you
|
||
|
|
are using it, it would be cool to hear about other things this is being used for.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DO NOT sell this software or any derivative works from this software without permission from the author.
|
||
|
|
I have put 100's of hours of development into this code and only ever asked for donations to support this project.
|
||
|
|
So if you go and grab this code and start selling it or derivative works, that is disrespecting the nature of this license,
|
||
|
|
and so not permitted without permission.
