Commercial licence possible ?

General Discussion
1

I had an idea around VASSAL and I was looking at VASSAL licence. In the FAQ, I saw this :

How can I contact Rodney about this matter ?

and IF, I choose not to use VASSAL.jar or don’t use the “password registration”, can I still use it in a commercial solution ?

PS. I’ll not use non authorize games. Only VASSAL games supported “legally” (don’t know the right term to use here).

Is it something possible ?

Thus spake survivant:

I had an idea around VASSAL and I was looking at VASSAL licence. In the
FAQ, I saw this :

The VASSAL.jar file is proprietary and may not be redistributed
without written authorization. This component contains software that
enables a module to require password registration before it can be
played. If you are interested in creating a commercial application
based on a VASSAL module, contact Rodney Kinney.

How can I contact Rodney about this matter ?

You don’t need to, it’s not current. This hasn’t been the case since
at least 2005. VASSAL is LGPL.

Where in the FAQ are you seeing this?

I found it here : vassalengine.org/wiki/Faq_licensing

Section : Can I make my own software program based on VASSAL?

Thanks. I’ve clarified this point in the FAQ.
