If you're ready, send me a link to your submission by email (gaz@bitplane.net)

If you have nowhere to host it, I'll make a form on my website for submissions, which will upload via PHP to a private FTP somewhere. I'll do this sometime this weekend and update the first post

Okay I have a big problem, I can't decide on what to make. I keep starting on a project.. then deleting it soon afterwards. I have no idea why. I usually come across something that's hard to implement and quit.

I have to stick to my guns

. But I just don't know. I doubt I'll get something done by the end of the competition. If I do, it would be something like a box, moving around.

Hey, I just have some questions about the irrKlang license. I'm assuming that the license being given is the irrKlang Pro Hobbyist license.

So basically my questions are, after reading the license, are we still held to one release of software that uses irrKlang Pro? We can't release the source code of our software that uses the irrKlang Pro, even if we eliminate all references to functions or files within irrKlang Pro? If I were to produce a sound rendering API (which I was already planning to do) could it be claimed that I have stolen source or borrowed ideas from the irrKlang source code? (To note, my API looks almost nothing like the irrKlang API.)

I think it was Niko's intention to award irrKlang Pro Full licenses, which means you're limited to one commercial release. If you ask him nicely he might give you a choice between full and indie licenses though.

You can release your source, but you can't distribute the irrKlang library or headers without consent. The only differences between irrKlang Pro/Free are your permissions to use it commercially and to static link, so users of your open source can simply make do with the free version. You can static link and use it commercially but they can't unless they buy a pro license, and they have to download the free version from Ambiera themselves.

Inspiration doesn't constitute a derived work under copyright law, and you don't get the source anyway only the headers and lib/dll, so no problems there

Oh okay, thanks for the responses bitplane. They provided with the information I needed.

I won't be entering. You can subtract 1 from the total.

When is this? I presume 12:00 pm GMT?

Strong99 · Post by **Strong99** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 4:50 pm

@bitplane when is the deadline exactly? Morning can mean anything... especialy when in a different timezone...

and means Monday morning the whole morning or the beginning of the morning around 6?

hybrid · Post by **hybrid** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 5:43 pm

I guess he meant very early in the morning, i.e. the submission counter closes with the end of sunday. Still it's a question which timezone. But since we all work until first daylights usually, I'd say 12:00 GMT is a good compromise.

bitplane · Post by **bitplane** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 11:11 pm

Yep, well, I can't organise anything until I get home from work on Monday evening GMT which will be almost afternoon even in Australia

Submission form is now open, updating the first post-
