I want to add Priority AI scripts derived from Oolite Priority AI core scripts (such as oolite-missileAI.js) to Armoury OXP, which is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0. Priority AI scripts are licensed under GPL v2 or later. CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 and GPL v2 are incompatible.
to 4.0, but the copyright holder(s) need to agree (Thargoid gave special permission in his adoption thread for anyone to take over his work and said that supersedes the license, which I think means that he is giving adopters of his work a proxy to act on his behalf with respect to the copyright, so I could in theory upgrade the license to CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 in this particular case).
What is the community's view on this? Does including Priority AI scripts in OXPs mean that those OXPs must be released under GPL licenses? Can Priority AI be provided to OXP authors under a different, CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 compatible license? Does transformative, creative, non-commercial, derivative use of Priority AI in the context of creating an expansion pack (which can be seen as a form of comment/criticism) represent
