Like SilentRuin, I add licenses to my extensions, and I distribute them unencrypted and invite others to look at my code.
I added licenses after I read your referenced post about licenses. I hadn't thought about that previously, as I'm sure most devs don't, and probably people who aren't devs by trade have no idea how IP works. So thanks for that post.
I use the GNU GPL, which will let someone take over if I vaporize.
If I ever plan on leaving FG, I will look for someone to take over. And I'd contact SmiteWorks to tell them they're free to transition my extensions to someone else.
Not everyone does that, unfortunately. I've looked at various extension code bases, and I rarely see a license.
Maybe we could have a forum where extension devs could post their desire for the fate of their extensions if they become orphaned.
Maybe SmiteWorks could have an extension developer agreement that covers this. And require some kind of license be attached to extensions to cover orphans.
We could come up with something to help prevent extension limbo.Add feature suggestions for Savage Worlds to Fantasy Grounds Feature Request.
