mithrohey remaxim08:15
remaximhi mithro08:15
mithroI've had a chance to listen to your stuff on a decent sound system08:15
mithroand they are quite different then on my crappy laptop computer :P08:15
remaximmithro, and did you find something you want to be improved?08:15
mithroI have some feedback08:16
mithroI'll write it up tommorrow08:16
remaximgreat08:17
mithromy hearing has been quite stuffed08:17
remaximmithro, I realized that actually I want to keep working on TP08:17
remaximbut only under certain conditions ;)08:17
remaximthat's why I wanted to talk to you08:17
mithroremaxim: yeah, I saw that08:18
* mithro reads the logs :)08:18
remaximI didn't tell the conditions yet ;)08:18
mithroyeah, so what are your conditions?08:19
mithroremaxim: btw, I'm sorry that I have not gotten back to you sooner08:19
mithrodecember is always really hectic :(08:19
remaximnp08:20
remaximthose are 3: .... first: you have to implent sound support..... second: you have to tell me how the final version of the music should sound like, so I can release my soundtrack for tp album ... third: you rename the game in million parsec... thousand sounds lame08:20
mithroin fact, I have been so busy with work, I havn't done any real tp work in about 3-4 weeks :(08:20
remaximbtw: the third one is a joke ;)08:21
mithroremaxim: how about a billion parsec! :P08:21
remaximnot bad as well ;)08:21
mithroremaxim: okay, I may actually get greywhind to work on sound support - it should only take a day worth of work08:21
remaximokay...08:22
remaximwhat about the second condition?08:22
mithrothe second is fine :) I just need to get around to doing it08:22
remaximok... telll me when you're finished with that08:23
mithroremaxim: if I give you an account on the media repository, do you think you could add your music to that?08:24
remaximbtw: in meantime I found a rapper I could produce for and started to work for the freeciv project :)08:24
mithroit would be easier to keep track of all the versions then08:24
remaximplease don't get jealous about the freeciv stuff ;)08:24
mithronah, it's still open source08:25
mithroif you release it under the GPL and we like it, we can still use it :)08:25
remaximmithro, I don't want to release all versions of my work... just the current/good ones08:25
mithroremaxim: specially the intro stuff would be good to have all the versions - as it would then let us figure out what we actually want08:25
remaximmithro, it's an totally other theme http://www.box.net/shared/74o6h705c808:25
tpbTitle: Box.net - Free Online File Storage, Internet File Sharing, Online Storage, Access Documents & Files Anywhere, Backup Data, Send Files (at www.box.net)08:26
mithroplus that box.net drives me nutty08:26
remaximmithro, yeah... I can agree on the intro stuff08:26
remaximmithro, why?08:26
mithrobecause if you just gave me a link to the mp3, it would open up in a proper media player08:27
mithroand I don't get very good speed from it :(08:27
remaximyou just have to push the download button...08:27
remaximoh, ok! my other space is even slower than that ;)08:28
mithroremaxim: two clicks instead of one and i'm lazy ;)08:28
remaximok... I can understand that :D08:28
remaximbut I still like box.net .... it's easy to work with and organize stuff and you get plenty of webspace for free ...08:29
mithroremaxim: interesting08:29
remaximmithro, yeah... I was paid for saying that ... now I get more webspace from box.net ;)08:30
remaximmithro, how difficult is it to use the media repository08:30
mithro(currently listening on my crappy laptop)08:30
mithroremaxim: well, it uses subversion - which is pretty easy once you get use to it08:31
remaximmithro, I don't really want to get used to something ;)08:31
mithroremaxim: it's pretty popular amoung open source projects08:31
remaximI just want to use it... as easily as possible :D ... that way I can save a lot of time08:32
remaximmithro, I know... I ve used it quite a while ago... but I uploaded anything that way08:32
mithroI would recommend installing http://tortoisesvn.net/08:33
remaximmithro, what did you mean with "my hearing has been quite stuffed"08:33
tpbTitle: TortoiseSVN | The coolest Interface to (Sub)Version Control (at tortoisesvn.net)08:33
remaximok, that looks quite easy to use08:33
remaximI could try that08:33
mithrocan you message me a username and password?08:33
remaximyou have to message me first ...08:34
remaximI m using a jabber irc transport... that way I only can answer on messages from others08:34
remaximmithro, could you explain me how to use it another time?08:37
remaximI have to go now08:37

remaximI found a great license for my music... someone in the other channel had a disscussion with RMS and that's how this license was developed: ""Permission is hereby given to copy, modify and redistribute this music/graphic to accompany any software licensed under the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License, version 2 or any later version.  If you redistribute this file, the copyright notice and these license terms must be retained, as must any attri13:36
remaximwhat do you think of it?13:36
*** JLP has quit IRC13:47
llnzremaxim: seems fine to me, but poke mithro when he gets up as to what he thinks13:49

remaximhi16:56
llnzwb remaxim16:56
llnzi have a concern about that license16:56
remaximllnz, what's the deal?16:56
llnzit's greatest restriction, must be with gpl software, is also it's greatest loophole16:57
llnzi could create a cd, with a data track with gpl ping on it, and sell it16:58
remaximllnz, yes you could16:58
llnzno one would bother with the program16:58
llnzit's an annoying issue for tp, for example a soundtrack cd would need to have software with it (which isn't a half bad idea)16:59
remaximI could add a clause that "hacking"(I dunno how to call it)  the license is forbidden ... that way it wouldn't be 100% clear ... but probably in most cases the judge would decide for the author17:00
remaximllnz, there will be a soundtrack cd made by me... but that will have another license ...17:01
llnzmore to the point, a comercial game could still use the music if they ship one piece of gpl software17:01
llnzfor example, hello world or ping17:01
remaximI mean the makers of gpl games shouldn't be too interested in soundtrack cds ... and if they are they could try get a second license17:01
llnzyou would still get credit though17:02
remaximllnz, yeah... but that is what I call hacking17:02
remaximsomeone has to be really desperate if he/she does that17:02
remaximI have to talk to some guys from the fsf or stuff ...17:03
llnzre: gpl games and soundtracks: we try to get the name/brand out there, marketing stuff and so on17:03
llnzsoundtrack could be a way to draw people in17:03
llnzthis is also the reason behind the calendar17:03
remaximllnz, I will release a soundtrack by myself with an CC license17:04
llnzit also raises a little money to pay for our servers and other costs17:04
remaximllnz, the soundtrack is made by me... don't forget that ;)17:05
llnzyeah, no problem, i wont forget17:05
peresmoney, share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie (roger waters ;) )17:05
llnzbut what happens with we have 4 people making music and we want to show off?17:06
llnzperes: kudos, share it and the more shared the more there is17:06
llnzoss is built on kudos17:07
remaximwhat is kudos?17:07
remaximllnz, what do you mean with show off?17:08
llnzremaxim: other names for the same sort of thing are credit and karma17:08
remaximah... ok! thx17:09
remaximllnz, so what do you mean with show off?17:09
llnzwell, show off as in make it available to people to listen to, either on our website, in game, or on cd17:09
llnz(or other formats)17:09
remaximllnz, double licensing it with CC-BY-SA-NC ... that's IMO the best way I heard off17:11
remaximso you can decide which license you use... and as those two ways of usage are strictly separated you have no problems with it17:12
remaximllnz, does it sound convincing?17:15
remaximI m not the only one who should be happy with the license ;)17:15
llnzhuumm... have to think17:20
llnzhopefully mithro will read this17:21
llnzbbs17:21
remaximbbs= be back sometime?17:21
llnzbe back soon17:49
* llnz is still away17:49
*** peres has left #tp18:03
mithroremaxim: ping?18:16
remaximmithro, pong18:17
remaximbrb18:17
mithroremaxim: a couple of problems with the license18:17
mithro1. new licenses are bad - they need to be designed by lawyers not (because the law sucks)18:18
mithro2. it is not really a free license if you considered the DFSG guidelines18:18
remaximwhy is it not free considering the DFSG guidelines?18:21
remaximmithro, it wasn't designed by lawyers, but it was proposed by RMS and Eben moglen18:21
mithroremaxim: when it is on the FSF we can have a look at it18:22
remaximmithro, so you're against it till there is a official license?18:23
mithroremaxim: yeah, I'm afraid so18:23
remaximmithro, :(18:23
mithroremaxim: sorry, licensing is a really sucky subject :(18:24
mithroand the easist way to make it less sucky is to just go with the GPL/LGPL18:24
remaximdid you read the license?18:24
mithroeven the GNU FDL has problems18:24
mithroremaxim: only the part you pasted above18:26
remaximmithro, please just read it... it's short18:26
remaximhttp://rafb.net/p/fhfvHc79.html18:27
tpbTitle: Nopaste - fsaa beta3 (at rafb.net)18:27
mithroyou didn't give a link18:27
remaximthat's the main part: "Permission is hereby given to copy, modify and redistribute this18:27
remaximwork of art to accompany any software licensed under the Free Software18:27

remaximterms must be retained, as must any attribution to the author and18:27
remaximoriginal project it was produced for."18:27
mithrowow - this part is going to be a huge problem18:29
mithroIt is permitted to move author and project attribution from one place to18:29
mithroanother if this is convenient and does not reduce their visibility to18:29
mithroless than what is reasonable and no less prominent than other similar18:29
mithroattributions in other artwork being distributed along with it.18:29
mithroremaxim: yeah, that license is not going to work18:30
mithrosorry18:30
remaximmithro, I don't understand that part with the prominent attribution18:31
remaximI don't want to have it in there as well18:31
remaximI think that guy just added this clause on the fly18:31
mithrowell, that is a legal mine field18:31
mithroanything which uses the word "reasonable" is going to be problems18:33
mithroremaxim: it also doesn't allow redistribution with LGPL, BSD, Artistic, etc18:34
remaximmithro, forget that paragraph18:34
remaximyeah.. it doesn't but as your game isn't any of those licenses I don't have to care18:35
remaximbtw: it is allowed to use it with any of those if there is gpl code for the game as well18:35
mithroremaxim: that is not quite true, there is a bunch of stuff that is LGPL18:35
remaximbut there is gpl as well... :D ... that's enough to ship it with the game and do whatever you want to with it as long as it stays part of some gpl game18:38
mithroremaxim: see, in 5 minutes I have found a bunch of problems - I'm not even a lawyer18:38
remaximmithro, there is no problem I saw as a problem except that paragraph I m not interested in18:38
mithroremaxim: it doesn't fit the DFSG - http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines18:39
tpb<http://ln-s.net/1MS-> (at www.debian.org)18:39
remaximmithro, what part causes trouble?18:40
mithrosee http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php for more reasons about it18:41
tpbTitle: The Open Source Definition (Annotated) | Open Source Initiative (at www.opensource.org)18:41
mithroThe rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.18:41
remaximmithro, media doesn't have to be open source ... I mean CC-BY-SA isn't open source as well18:41
mithros/program/artwork/18:42
remaximI just repeat myself saying that media doesn't have to be open source18:44
mithroremaxim: because that statement is wrong, TP is an open source project - the media should be open source too18:45
remaximmithro, media can't be open source18:45
mithrowhy not?18:45
remaximmedia can be freely redistributable... and it is ... as long as you ship it with a open source game18:46
remaximmithro, because media doesn't always have sources18:46
mithroremaxim: I'm afraid I'm not really in the mood to have this argument - late night last night18:47
remaximok... I can understand that! I just hope you can see my point ... I m seeing yours I think ;)18:48
mithroremaxim: I can see your point, however it is my opinion that media does have sources, and we really want to collect them too (see the intro movie for an example)18:49
mithro(oh and the calander)18:49
remaxim... you ll just get all the sources under this license ;)18:50
remaximsorry... forgot it... late night ... I ll just shut up18:51
mithrothanks, I'll try and get to the email about the music soon18:52
remaximerr... what email?18:54
mithroremaxim: my thoughts18:54
remaximoh.. yeah... the feedback!18:56
