MOD COMMUNITY LICENSE Version 1, 21 March 2026 Copyright (c) 2026 HDainester 0. Foreword The Mod Community License (MCOML) is an open license meant to better protect the rights of software authors. It does not adhere to the usual definition of "Free Open Source Software" (FOSS), but rather it aims to strike a middle ground between the freedom of consumers and the protection of the authors' work. In short, you may share or modify the source code as you wish, as long as the work stays under this license, and if you have modified the code, you must: (a) state your changes if you don't use an SVC like Git (b) list the original authors (as listed in the copyright at the top of this license) When sharing binaries, you must adhere to a few more rules. Either: (a) your derivative work differs sufficiently from the original or (b) you have received written permission from all Project Owners If you are running a modified version of this software on your servers and users can freely interact with it, you will need to make your source code public the same way. The precise terms and conditions can be found below: 1. Definitions 1.1. "Source Code": The Source Code is any digital files or tools that are part of the work covered by this text and/or used in the creation of Binaries, preferred for making modifications. This does not include any publicly available tools or libraries. This may include textual or binary digital files. 1.2. "Binaries": Binaries correspond to any form of the work other than the Source Code. 1.3. "This License": This License corresponds to the full text of this document. 1.4. "Copyright Notice": The Copyright Notice corresponds to the line towards the top of This License, starting with "Copyright (c)". 1.5. "Project Owner": The Project Owners are all physical persons or legal entities mentioned in the Copyright Notice. They may be referred to by an alias. 1.6. "You": "You" corresponds to an individual or a legal entity exercising rights under this License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with You. For purposes of this definition, control means (a) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such an entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (b) ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or beneficial ownership of such an entity. 2. Using the Source Code You may copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, and/or sell copies of the Source Code under the following conditions: 2.1. The Source Code and any derivative work of the Source Code are licensed under This License. 2.2. You must explicitly state your changes, if any, in a prominent place. 2.2.1. Commit history as provided by source version control software programs is considered to fulfill 2.2. 2.3. If You modify the Source Code in any way, You must list the original Project Owners in a prominent place. 2.3.1. Commit history as provided by source version control software programs is NOT considered to fulfill 2.3. 2.4. You may add your name to the Copyright Notice, but You must not remove any name from the existing Copyright Notice. 3. Using Binaries You may share, publish, distribute, make derivative work, and/or sell copies of Binaries, or license the right to do so, under the following conditions: 3.1. Any derivative work must differ sufficiently from the original. The following criteria must be satisfied: 3.1.1. At least 50% of the derivative work must consist of code or functionality that significantly alters and/or adds to the original work in a meaningful way. 3.1.2. Mere additions, such as empty classes, comments, or trivial changes that do not enhance functionality in a reasonable way, do not meet this criterion. 3.1.3. An explicit written permission by all Project Owners can serve as a replacement for any conditions mentioned under 3.1. 3.2. The Binaries and any derivative work of the Binaries are licensed under This License. 3.3. You must provide documentation stating in particular any differences to the original work. 3.4. You must make the Source Code used to create the Binaries publicly available, free of charge. 4. Remote network interaction If You offer users the ability to interact remotely through a computer network with a Binary created from a modification of the Source Code, You must make the modified Source Code publicly available, free of charge. You must also clearly document and respond to requests asking how to obtain the aforementioned Source Code. 5.
