Loki1950 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's not about credit it's about money for M$ if you use any of their content they want cash and their lawyers are aggressive.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 In our country, copyright ends 70 years after the death of all contributors, I didn't know AoE was that old And for music covers, you also have to pay the original artist. We can't forbid you to make such a mod, but we also can't allow you to share those works on our forums, or to have links from our forums to a copyright violating project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greycat Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) The strange thing about software is it is legal to completely mimic the functions another OS like FreeDOS "Complete, free, MS-DOS compatible operating system with no enhancements or advanced features such as multitasking, protected mode operation, GUI." It is not really 100% compatible though... Edited December 3, 2013 by greycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Software is an other category entirely some is covered by patents and copyright because software patents are not enforceable in some counties(specificity forbidden in fact) but the corporations that produce that software are usually from the US where software patents are the norm and a minefield for all developers.Enjoy the Choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sighvatr Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think the most memorial part of Age of Empires 1 were the sounds the buildings and units make, and the music that played. Heck, I still blast original age of empire music in my car at traffic lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This mod could have legal issues because it copies over a look of content directly (unit icons etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Given the fact that 0 A.D. was originally planned as a mod for AoE, I find it interesting that this thread exists. If there was no copyright issues, then I would love to see this materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
