![]() ![]() i do art myself, have a site (where my oxp is) and browsing google i found a shed load of my images were on a girlie's MySpace site. I understand Sung's miff at having the name taken off, i hope he just overreacted due to language probs. Jeez.i'm off for a day and the Community just about falls apart :-( He argued that the real reason was the broken nature of his concept, but his reception by the then stalwarts of the community (who all seem to have since fled) could not have helped.ġ) Initially, Killer Wolf refused to give any of his. oxp writers who then started insisting that he leave their oxp's out of his Realistic Shipyards! Again, matters escalated, and Lestradae ended up "resigning", so to speak, in Nov 2012. It became regarded as his "muscling in" by some of the other. This was going to include everybody else's ship.oxp's and regularise them to make them compatible with each other and with Oolite as a whole. Next there was the Lestradae affair, starting with Lestradae's creation of his mega-oxp, Realistic Shipyards. He eventually changed his mind, allowing Lestradae to host his textures and incorporate them into OE (Oolite Extended - a project that sadly went nowhere). This led to lengthy discussions about licensing combined with various decisions being made by Ahruman and others. Sorry for this, but the textures are not longer available. A number of the more militant members of the Friendliest Board This Side of Riedquat raised a big hoo-hah and he ended up removing his work from Oosat and leaving in a huff in early 2007. Then, he wanted to use them elsewhere for financial gain. His retextures were uploaded to the resurrected Oosat 2 with minor modifications to meet the data limits, and he got upset. Sung Mehta, in Germany, produced some absolutely spiffing ship textures. This issue was then compounded during the Sung affair. So a number of the early OXP's seem to have lacked licenses, and many others lost them (if they ever had them in the first place)! When they were replaced, the ReadMe's which would have contained any licensing information were lost. With the collapse of Oosat 2 in Oct/Nov 2006, the OXPs there were lost. There are problems with unlicensed OXP's. Certainly, a number of people back in the early days understood that uploading one's oxp's to either of the Oosat repositories automatically meant that one was de facto licensing it. ![]() See Hotrods OXP, where Arexack_Heretic argues that the Oolite license covers the oxp's too. There was a general presumption held by some in the early days that any oxp's posted came under the same license as Oolite itself.
