My English isn't very well so I have question to you. Take a look at this text taken from CPL licence attached to the BoE source code release: quote:I don't understand. BoE Game/Editor is provided under terms of the licence, but licence applies only to the BoE Editor? Could somebode explain this to me, please? -------------------- Blades of Exile for Win32 Posts: 14 | Registered: Wednesday, May 16 2007 07:00 |

Are those two paragraphs in the order they were in on the liscense? If not, it may just be some sort of mistake. If so, I am very confused. -------------------- "The mouth is like the city gate.

What I think happened is that Jeff copied the licence for the BoA Editor, did a find/replace to change "Exile" to "Avernum", and forgot to remove the paragraph about the game itself not being released under the same licence. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Of course! That would make sense. I was really confused there... Legal documents just aren't my thing, I'm afraid... -------------------- "The mouth is like the city gate.
