Re: Licensing OXPs
Originally, HIMSN was to be based in the fifth octant, in the Tetiri/Orlaed zero-distance double system.

Re: Licensing OXPs
I still have it installed in one of my setups, great work with a different concept.

Re: Licensing OXPs
You can create several scenarios, like HIMSN against Thargoids or occasional patrol flights, but to be fully functionable I don't think so.hiran wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 12:43 pmCould/should it be broken down into several OXPs then?Cody wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 11:59 amEventually?

Re: Licensing OXPs
Just searched for Nemoricus: there is a Nemoricus who is an add-on developer at www.orbiter-forum.com - designing space ships and stuff! And he's been there since 2009 and was last seen there a year ago!

Would it be possible to publish this without license on the Expansions Manager on condition that it is only updated by an Override?![]()

Nemoricus disappeared when Spara started suggesting major revisions to the Galactic Navy. He was not asking Nemoricus to do them, but he may have misunderstood. And he was chary about giving a license, even though his work was fully approved by Matt634 and Matt634 seemed happy for him to take it over.
I think that asking Nemoricus for permission to put up version 5.4.3 on the Expansions Manager should be fine, and there should be no issues with it. We can also ask him for a license, but maybe do that afterwards, so that if he is reluctant and needs to think about it, we already have the Navy on the manager.

Re: Licensing OXPs
He always seemed to be very reluctant to add a license, even the OXP is based on some other people's work, Eric Walch for example. However, I think asking for permission to upload to the manager first would be the right approach, everything else could follow later step by step.Cholmondely wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 2:12 pmJust a little more on this.

...and in case they have been/are reluctant to give a license there could be a reason to it. Maybe they never fully owned the code - they may have 'borrowed' parts from elsewhere as well.
