The end of Rock Patch

[FS-21]

First of all, VK, I'm not replying against you and your decisions but I speak about laws and all people must obey the laws...

Under what distribution license was distributed RockPach all this time?

I don't know.
However, you can use it only after permit from all coders.

Yesssssss but... all people had permission to download & redistribute RockPatch until your last release... as I said you want change the rules? release a new version without nothing new and declare it not downloadable for nobody (but remember that any type of rules must respect the laws, some EULAs can be ilegal because they break the laws)
As Blade said "you cannot retroactively change the licence that something is released under".

But I still have RP 1.10 0036 So I'm happy

must delete it now.
why? the copyright law.

Same answer of before, people had the right to copy RockPatch ("right" to "copy"... ohh "copyright") until that version, zipping the installer with the desired mod...

RP releases never had any type of text explaining what "Terms of use" and "distribution" limitations...
...BUT in the past RP still was possible re-distribute RockPatch with mods (I remember VK words about incompatibility between RP versions & his solution about zip the specific RP version with the mod)... so last released version of RockPatch can be able to be re-distributed with mods exactly like older versions because developers (in this case only VK) don't changed they opinion about "re-distributions" of RP BEFORE the last release... that VK will not distribute the last revision RP 1.10 into the RP website don't say that we can't continue zipping the required version of RP with our mod due to the latest "Terms of use & distribution"... except if he releases a new version (this new version can to have no new changes/fixes, directly a copy of the last version but renamed to have a bigger version number) that explicitly changes the "Terms of use & distribution"... then if someone want use the last last last version must use RP due to the new "Terms of use & distribution"

This is only a words however.

Copyright are words howerver, laws are words however...

More than that, the RP is a derivative work of YR so technically the copyright still belongs to EA.

not right.

Sorry but this is 100% right, RockPatch is a derivated work of an existing copyrighted work (in this case Yuri's Revenge, the same for your Extended Tiberian Sun)

What is Rock Patch?
It just installer/patcher program.
Yes, it was created by PD,JONWILL,VK.
You can patch any file: TXT, SNO, EXE, DOC.
But if you patch GAMEMD.EXE YOU breaks EULA, but not coders.
Installer/patcher is only a tool.
The same as a knife.
While you don't kill anybody, police won't take you in the prison.
Rock Patch is the same as a knife however.

PD had authorization from EA (the owners of the EULA) to continue patching Yuri's Revenge with his project RockPatch.

...currently in the last revision #0036 only "EMPulse SW" had to fix 2 reported bugs about the rangered weapons: when you clicks in the minimap & AI ignores weapon range... but no developers are available

and no EMPulse SW available.
Forgot about RP 1.10.

Forget download about 1.10 in the official site but as I said in the first thing you can't revoke a license of distribution after release it and bla bla bla...

I will think about it, and probably re-release RP 1.10 as SP 1 or as EYR 1 or as EYR 2.0.
This project will have a hard rules, create by me & communty .

As I said you can re-release a program with your new terms of use and distribution but older versions can't be modified thos terms
