Hosting Vassal

General Discussion

Hi,
I am trying to make Vassal as easy to use as possible for Elfball players. Is it permissible to bundle the Vassal tool with the Elfball module and a help file in one zip and host that on a separate website, with links to vassalengine.org, proper acknowledgements and so on?
Thanks,
Mike

Great. LGPL? Basically mods have to be free? That’s cool. Thanks for the swift reply.

No, the license doesn’t apply to modules, only to VASSAL itself.
