Burg, Deathball Desert, Sector T3D, and Pacific Demo License Restrictions...

Can't really seem to get a definitive answer on this and I have tried several searches.
What are the license restrictions on these if I am a T3D 1.2 license holder?
Could I for instance use the Bunkers from Deathball Desert or the Flying Cars from Sector T3D in a game ... probably only as placeholder art ... but dependent on finances maybe in the released product.
Just curious. Thanks.

Sweet ... just trawled through about 500 posts in about 6 different threads to eventually come to that conclusion. :)Steve Acaster:
Quote:Just to recap, anything in MIT is useable Open Source. Anything that you have previously bought/licensed is useable under that commercial license.

Those art assets are not part of the MIT license, however. This has been covered a few times, I'll try to find the threads.

And from what I understand the MIT license is primarily focussed on the Source Code and Script Code ... so I think I am covered as long as I adhere to the commercial licenses for the other assets. :)

I understand that ... they are covered by my commercial license of the product ... so as long as I keep them in binary format and not include the source then I am covered ... well that is how I understand it.And from what I understand the MIT license is primarily focussed on the Source Code and Script Code ... so I think I am covered as long as I adhere to the commercial licenses for the other assets. :)

Just to add some officialness, your understanding is correct. You can make use of assets in your game that were provided in previous engine releases if you are a commercial licensee of that engine/version.

I am curious what about the FPS example? is that free assets under MIT still cause I know that was mostly for 1.2 when it was created.

Anything downloaded from here: https://github.com/GarageGames ... is released under MIT.
Anything purchased from here: http://www.garagegames.com ... is managed by the relevant license for those specific items.
So in essence you can do what I am doing. Using Torque 3D MIT for the main game with various assets purchased with Torque 3D 1.2 and others from the Garage Games store ensuring I don't breach those licenses.
