A few questions: - What effect do you think this will have on currently free Eve related software (Evemon, killboards, JEveAssets, etc) - Suppose I have a corp killboard. Does this mean that I will have to pay $100 for the corp kb software, and then pay another $100 to CCP to license the use of it ... wait what someone explain wtf is going on. - Does this mean that all access to the API is going to be metered through an application license of some kind? -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter

Originally by: Ibn Faldan Edited by: Ibn Faldan on 15/06/2011 18:35:31 I'm curious, who exactly gets left out in the licensing approach? There is a non-commercial AND a commercial license. And its clear that there are many pragmatic people on here that truly lack an understanding of economics. Eve didn't even HAVE to provide an API, did they? Now they want to make some money back on their time spent up front and ongoing on this, and only for those looking to commercialize their works - exactly how does that put YOU out directly? I want to hear some real stories from real people who will really be left out in the cold by this, not those who have a philosophical disagreement with this.
Fire away.
From the looks of things, anyone asking for donations to help cover server expenses (read: most corp/alliance websites) will now require a commercial license and have their costs increased by $100 -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter

Originally by: Apollo Gabriel I am guessing the intent here was:
Some players wanted to develop 3rd party isk revenue services. CCP didn't want to deal with IP violations, so came up with the licensing system. Then as the did with skill descriptions, completely ****ed it up.
It was a can of worms that should NEVER have been opened up tbh. -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter

Originally by: CCP Atlas that's a legal slippery slope
This is why you need to abandon this altogether. Its a huge can of worms that's going to very quickly turn into a gorgon and kill us all. :-/ -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter

Cripes Zulu. May I kindly suggest you guys have a couple lawyers + high level staff on standby to answer questions immediately? If you guys had been on the bounce with regards to feedback we might have had 5-10 pages instead of "30 pages of hate" and countless troll/not troll threads all over the forums.
Good luck! -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter
