General + +It is not permitted to submit abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, +threatening, sexually-orientated or any material that may violate any laws be +it of your country, the country where "Content DB” is hosted or International Law. + + +## 2. Technical Names + +### 2.1 Right to a name + +The first package to use a name based on the creation of its forum topic or +contentdb submission has the right to the technical name. The use of a package +on a server or in private doesn't reserve its name. + +If it turns out that we made a mistake by approving a package and that the +name should have been given to another package, then we *may* unapprove the +package and give the name to the correct one. + +### 2.2 Mod Forks and Reimplementations + +An exception to the above is that mods are allowed to have the same name as a +mod if its a fork of that mod (or a close reimplementation). In real terms, it +should be possible to use the new mod as a drop-in replacement. + +We reserve the right to decide whether a mod counts as a fork or +reimplementation of the mod that owns the name. + + +## 3. License + +### 3.1 Allowed Licenses + +Please ensure that you correctly credit any resources (code, assets, or otherwise) +that you have used in your package. + +The use of licenses which do not allow derivatives is not permitted. +This includes CC-ND (No-Derivatives) and lots of closed source licenses. + +If the license you use is not on the list then please choose the correct "Other" +option. + +Please note that the definitions of "free" and "non-free" is the same as that +of the [Free Software Foundation](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html). + +### 3.2 Recommended Licenses + +It is recommended that you use a proper license for code with a warranty +disclaimer, such as the (L)GPL or MIT. You should also use a proper media license +for media, such as a Creative Commons license. + +The use of WTFPL is discouraged as it doesn't contain a valid warranty disclaimer, +and also includes swearing which dissuades teachers from using your content. + +Public domain is not a valid license in many countries, please use CC0 or MIT instead. + + +## 4.
