The end of Rock Patch

[MCV]

In Reply To: all People who talk about "distribution licence" and "copyright"

Let's look at this shall we?
Renegade is German (IIRC) and presumably uses a German server, and VK is Russian. The patch was released on a German server, meaning it was released to all countries in the world at the same time due to the connection to the Internet. This means that I, living in Norway, have to abide by Norwegian law.

This means that as long as I can classify the Marshall's installer as Independent, it is not illegal for me to use the Rock Patch.

Further, I can per Norwegian Law change the 1.07b installer to allow TFD, and I could distribute this program.

As I abide by Norwegian Law, PD, VK, jonwil and Marshall has the right to revoke the right to use the Rock Patch at any time, even without making another patch.

I don't know wherether Marshall's patcher is Independent; How do you classify a patch?

Anyway, the bottom line about distribution are:

1. In which cases does laws concerning distribution apply? Do they apply for a program distributed on a German server?
   
2. What does your law state about distribution? Can VK revoke the right to 1.10 in your country? If not, do you have the right to distribute it?
   

Be sure to find the definite answers to these if you want to distribute the 1.10 patch yourself.

(Myself, I am neither allowed by law, nor would I release it without VK's concent.)
