    Pb Need GERMAN speaker\reader for LICENSE QUESTION, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

    Hi everyone! I have read the rules and license for the GOTHIC modding and as long as it's free (as it always should be) and doesn't offend anyone I should be able to use GOTHIC assets without any problems. Fact is, I am not a lawyer myself so maybe I didn't understand everything as meant to be understood.

    THE REAL QUESTION IS, since the license doesn't actually specify anything, CAN I USE THE ASSETS FOR MODDING OF OTHER GAMES?



    Here's a license copy, both in english and with the link in german for those of you that read it better in the main language:

    License for non-commercial use of modifications
    (GothicMOD license)

    Appendix: How do I put a piece of GothicMOD license?


    To provide a work under the terms of this license for free use by anyone available, the work must be accompanied by the following notice in well perceive. It is also recommended to include a copyright notice, which includes the year of first publication and the owner of the exclusive rights of use (name or commonly understood abbreviations).


    Copyright (c) 20 [yy] [owner of the exclusive rights of use].
    This work can not by anyone in the commercial form
    be used in accordance with the provisions of GothicMOD license.
    The license conditions under http://www.gothic2.de/mod
    or available at http://www.piranha-bytes.com/mod.

    Original available in German here:
    http://www.piranha-bytes.com/addon/mod/lizenz/


    This license is intended for mods of Gothic/Gothic2, but as I understand the text there is no limit to use it in other games (Bethesda's license says that they acquire the rights of our material, we have to add a copy of the license text so that they acquire the license as well).




    So, staying by the things written in that license I can use everything as long as it's free (as all mods on the nexus are) right? u.u Please tell me it is so otherwise I have to throw 3 months of work into shit (and excuse this gross word).


    Thank you in advance!

    THE REAL QUESTION IS, since the license doesn't actually specify anything, CAN I USE THE ASSETS FOR MODDING OF OTHER GAMES?
    This license is only for modding Gothic/Gothic 2 itself. It doesn't give you the right to use anything from the Gothic games in mods for other games. Is it that what you wanted to know?

    But what if the other mod reqiures a Gothic Installation? That would make maybe using Gothic Content in other games legal, because users/players of the mod must own the content with gothic.
    Another interesting question is: Is it allowed to use any content (except In Extremo) from Gothic 1, 2 and 3 in a Gothic 2 Mod (G2 is only a example)?
    This is a really old question. JoWood has never answered it, so i think PB will do so.

    @ thedarkprince: One thing is allowed, using Arcania: Gothic 4 Content in other Gothic-games. They are not giving this permission excatly, but Nordic Games says that they are fascinated what things fans can do, so they will not take care of using the content.

    I don't think that they don't want to see it in other games because you don't have to own Gothic to play. Mods support games and give them a longer life. Why should Piranha Bytes help other developers to earn money with things they've created?

    Kann es sein, dass er eher Arcania meint?

    Auf die Idee komm ich aufgrund dieses Skyrimmods http://anvilbay.ru/files/arcania-armory/.

    Die englische Übersetzung ist aufjedenfall erstmal gesperrt und unter Überprüfung.
