tModLoader MIT License Approval Thread

In planning for the future of tML, we (the tModLoader team) have found the GPL license too restrictive (this is not an uncommon complaint). tModLoader will be moving to the MIT License which you can read about at https://tldrlegal.com/license/mit-license. Currently, each contributor legally owns the contributions they make to tML, and only the owner can permit re-licensing code they have committed. As such, we require written consent from everyone who has contributed to tML in order to use their code under the new license going forward.

If you wish to relicense your code under MIT to support the ongoing development of tML, please post the following:

A group of “core contributors” (the “Team”) and others have developed a modification of Terraria commonly known as “tModLoader” (The “Mod”). The Mod is available on <github link> (“Github”) under the GPL Afero License.

The Team desires to offer the Mod, which may include the Contributions, on a non-Github site under the MIT License.  By this agreement, I authorize the Team to use the Contributions in whole or in part in connection with the license of the Mod under the MIT license on a non-Github site.

I’m sorry extremely I didn’t notice this. I’ve been busy at work lately.
