In any case, this is like those servers that still violate the EULA by selling non-cosmetic items and ranks - even after being reported to Mojang, who has not taken any action (that I know of).Īlso, something else I'm wondering about the EULA includes this line (looks like it was added the last time they updated it in October 2015):īy "Mods," we mean something original that you or someone else created that doesn't contain a substantial part of our copyrightable code or content. I also see modders break the EULA by posting their source code online, which includes parts of Mojang's original code.

The entire process of modding the game is technically illegal the EULA for most software forbids you from decompiling and modifying it (even for your own use, much less distributing those changes) and Mojang does not officially support modding, though they don't condemn it either unless it is for illegal activities.
AUTOSELL PLUGIN FREE MOD
What about obfuscating a mod with MCP? That is required since the names within vanilla are obfuscated and you'd have to deobfuscate the entire jar and distribute that deobfuscated jar in order to use non-deobfuscated mods with it, which is obviously against the ToS (distributing an entire working jar), although MCP doesn't obfuscate your own variable/method/class names, but my mods still modify a lot of vanilla code which is in turn obfuscated. Obfuscating code is also against the GPL (Most developers do this)
AUTOSELL PLUGIN FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE
"This means you must license the plug-in under the GPL or a GPL-compatible free software license and distribute it with source code in a GPL-compliant way." Yes, you can, if you provide the source code.Īlong with the illegal monetization of plugins by developers, obfuscating code is also against the GPL (Most developers do this) Wait! The GPL says I can sell my derivative work! Plugins use Spigot/Bikkit code, GPL says plugins have to follow GPL. Short terms: Spigot uses Bukkit, GPL says Spigot is now a GPL because they use Bukkit code. The answer given in the GPL FAQ is short and to the point: "Subclassing is creating a derivative work." In our example, this makes D a work derived from B, and thereby makes D subject to the terms of the GPL upon distribution." If X distributes D, does it have to be licensed under the terms of the GPL?

Class B is subject to the terms of the GPL. "Example 5: Programmer X wishes to write a class D, that is a subclass of existing class B. The GPL licence applies to Bukkit, so by selling plugins, the developers are not following the licence.
