Comment Rank this book if you've read it (Score 1) 172

I created this site about 6 months ago for programmers to rank their favorite programming books. The concept is simple, you rank your top 5 favorite books for a particular subject like "Ruby" or "Software Engineering". Specifically here are the top ranked Ruby Books. And here's the list of Top books every programmer should read. Of course, this only really works well if more people rank books, so if you've read this book, rank it(and any other ones you've read).

Comment Ownership of Module != Ownership of Underlying IP (Score 1) 293

There's a little bit of overreaction going on here. From the clear language of the EULA, IG/BW is only laying claim to the module itself.

The way I interpret it, the creator retains rights to the underlying story, characters, plot, etc. and grants IG/BW an exclusive right to one particular embodiment of that work, that being the Module created with the Aurora Toolset. The creator is free to create other derivative works, including modules for other game engines.

Personally, I think IG/BW is creating a lot of trouble for itself doing this, because if I were an owner of a copyright that has been infringed by an overeager NWN user, I would go after IG/BW because they have granted themselves the power to stop the distribution of the infringing Module, and thus shift the costs of enforcement onto them.

Herego, their lawyers end up billing a lot of hours. Maybe that's what they wanted... :P
