• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I have a few questions about using source data which falls under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)

Do I have this correct: I can use the data in a commercial project but if I did, I would also have to share a version containing my modifications for free? (i.e. two versions, one included in the commercial scenery, one for free) Does the free version need include the compiled Bgls or would it be ok to simply share any modifications to the source files themselves? (i.e. tiffs as opposed to compiled bgl scenery)

Cheers
 
Hi,

I have to say I am not a lawyer, but that sounds to me like you need to indeed share what you have made from it under the same license.

That might seem a bit contradicting with commercial use, but I think I have read before that it could also mean that if people want to have access to the data for free, they should be able to.

But it would be a hard question which part of your addon is affected by it. Do you only need to share the part made with this data? And what if you merged it with other data?

Sorry, don't have much more answers...
