Är det möjligt att använda regler från OGL eller GSL i ett dataspel?

16

Jag experimenterar med att göra ett RPG-spel för mobiltelefoner, och jag kunde spara lite tid om jag använde ett etablerat system för statistik och strid etc. Från en snabb läsning av licenserna är jag inte säker på om detta är möjligt , det mesta tycks vara riktade mer på skrivna produkter.

Är det någon som är bekant med licenserna att ge mig sin tolkning på något sätt, eller hänvisa mig till en sektion som täcker denna typ av sak?

OGL: Ja. Mer information finns i faq :

Q: I want to distribute computer software using the OGL. Is that possible?

A: Yes, it's certainly possible. The most significant thing that will impact your effort is that you have to give all the recipients the right to extract and use any Open Game Content you've included in your application, and you have to clearly identify what part of the software is Open Game Content.

One way is to design your application so that all the Open Game Content resides in files that are human-readable (that is, in a format that can be opened and understood by a reasonable person). Another is to have all the data used by the program viewable somehow while the program runs.

Distributing the source code not an acceptable method of compliance. First off, most programming languages are not easy to understand if the user hasnÍt studied the language. Second, the source code is a separate entity from the executable file. The user must have access to the actual Open Content used.

See the Software FAQ for more information.

GSL: Nej. Det låter dig bara göra vissa saker och programvara är inte en av dem.
