This seems legally questionable given that all of the source files have a copyright notice from Blizzard indicating distribution without written permission is prohibited.
- oh_sigh 8y agoNo one is distributing them. If you have the content files, you can point the open source engine to read them.
- davidcbc 8y agoThe guy on Github is distributing the source files which have a Blizzard copyright notice on them saying not to distribute them.
- joecarpenter 8y agoWhich is really weird. Because the code is reverse-engineered and I'm 99% sure the author used Hex-Rays Decompiler (due to variable names, etc).
- bananaboy 8y agoLooks like he pushed a change to remove the copyright notice: https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution/commit/bb01c6f084b8d6525785f7f41a2ceca18c06c86c https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution/commit/bb01c6f084b8...
- darkstar999 8y agoWhat do you mean? https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution/blob/master/Source/automap.cpp#L6 https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution/blob/master/Source/... This seems like distribution to me.
- oh_sigh 8y agoOh, sorry, I thought the comment I was responding to was nested under the 'freeablo.net' discussion, and not the main thread. You're right that this person is distributing stuff they shouldn't be. I'm guessing it will be removed from github shortly.
