Yes, if you require any sort of payment for your services you will need a commercial license.
hello CCP
i sure understand you trying to monetize from all possible aspects of eve. but taking it from the hard working developer community is harsh. they do most work for free or for drops of isk to serve to community - now they need to pay for not getting paid?
on my side, i run eve commander, a rather large site with more than 8'000 registered users. it takes a dedicated server costing more than 1500 euros, it cost hundreds of euros for software and licenses and running cost in the data center. off that, i earn a few billion isk a year in non monetary in-game currency that gets me a pixelship like a nyx or so.
i certainly will NOT pay for providing a service to the community that is highly in deficit concerning real life assets and earning me breadcrumbs of a virtual currency.
if this ruling comes into action, i can promise you this:
IT WILL BE THE END OF EVE COMMANDER - i would shut down the platform.
even if it hurts me to tears, you must understand that my love for the game and the community is large, but not endless.

Originally by: Joe SMASH As a show of force that most 3rd party devs do NOT like this rule. I think we should figure out a day where all Eve Online 3rd party sites get taken offline. This will show the community what it will be like if CCP gets this in place. For those 24 hours, the Eve community (voted best in the MMO world!) goes quiet and CCP will (hopefully) begin to see their many mistakes with this new set of rules.

Originally by: CCP Manifest Clarification post will be coming shortly. Just wanted to let ya'll know we know this thread needs it.
well, i saved the original dev blog. i really wonder what you will 'clarify' by changing your dumbfolded (sorry for the expression) idea. just admit that you fxxxed up and will rewrite the whole thing with actually some thought put into it... be true to yourself and us !! the only and most important thing we ask from you.

Originally by: CCP Zulu Hello all.
At the risk of sounding corporate-y, I have to say Iæm impressed and greatful for the amount of passion shown in this thread.
There are a lot of very valid points raised here. What's interesting is that most, if not all, of the issues that are being raised are because of confusing wording, terminology or misunderstandings in the draft document.
It is in no way the purpose of the program to deter or make money off 3rd party development. The core purpose is simply to have control our IP and brand and have a contract in place so we can have some form of regulation on apps and services that use the EVE name and EVE resources (API).
Itæs obvious we have to review and iterate on the contract and program as presented in the devblog since most of the points mentioned in the comments are not in line with its core purpose.
Unfortunately that will take some time and weære kind of swamped for the next couple of weeks.
So what weæll do is take a step back, harvest feedback from this thread, do an iteration pass on the contract and terms and give you an updated version before the end of summer. Until we have a license that meets our needs and your expectations we will not make any changes to our terms or enforcement thereof.
As always, your feedback is not only welcomed but in fact essential to us. Thank you.
