Rawrtastic Mod License 1.0 (RML-1.0)
Copyright (c) 2026 Midnight Nova
Definitions. The Mod is the software released under this license, including its source code, compiled code, and included assets. An Official Source is a download location designated in the README or release documentation of the most recent official release. A Modified Work is any work incorporating, modifying, adapting, or derived from the Mod's source code or assets, regardless of how much it is changed, renamed, rebranded, rebuilt, or repackaged. A work is not a Modified Work merely because it depends on, interoperates with, calls an API of, or lists the Mod as a dependency.
Subject to continued compliance with this license, you may use the Mod, study and modify its source, publish source forks, and create works that depend on or interoperate with it, free of charge.
1. Distribution
Do not redistribute the Mod's compiled code or assets, modified or unmodified, except under Section 2(b) or Section 5. Modpacks, packages, installers, and guides that require the Mod must cause users to obtain it from an Official Source rather than bundling it. Configuration files may be redistributed.
2. Modified Works
Every Modified Work remains under this license in full with respect to the portions derived from the Mod, and those portions may not be distributed under additional, different, or conflicting terms, except for conditions expressly imposed by the copyright holder under Section 2(b). Distributed source and Modified Works must include this copyright notice and license. Every recipient of a Modified Work receives it under this license, and no one may state or imply rights beyond those granted here.
You may publish Modified Works in source form. This does not permit redistribution of the Mod's assets except source files reasonably necessary to build or modify the Modified Work and distributed under this license.
A compiled Modified Work may be distributed only:
(a) as a separate addon, patch, plugin, or similar component that requires the official Mod from an Official Source, contains none of the Mod's compiled code or assets, and is clearly marked unofficial; or
(b) as a standalone build with the copyright holder's prior written permission. Permission may include additional conditions and may be withdrawn for future releases, but withdrawal does not affect releases lawfully published while permission was in effect. A permitted standalone build must use a different name and package identifier, be clearly marked as a fork, and remain under this license.
3. No Selling or Paywalling
Do not sell the Mod or a Modified Work or require payment, subscription, membership, donation, purchase, or other consideration to obtain or use either. Voluntary donations that do not restrict access are allowed.
4. No Sexually Explicit Publication
Do not publish the Mod or a Modified Work in or alongside, or list either as a dependency of, any published work that is marked, categorized, or advertised as adult, NSFW, pornographic, or sexually explicit, or that depicts nudity, sexual activity, pornography, or is primarily intended to enable such depictions.
Publish means making something available to the public or to a publicly accessible or publicly joinable group, including through a mod repository listing, public repository or download, public profile code, or public or open community server.
Use and sharing that do not constitute publication are not restricted by this section. Profanity, crude humor, and nonsexual adult themes alone do not trigger this section.
5. Fallback
The restrictions in Section 1 and the written-permission requirement in Section 2(b) are suspended if either:
(a) the most recent official release of the Mod is unavailable from every Official Source for 12 consecutive months; or
(b) a generally available stable game release materially breaks the Mod and no official release restoring material functionality is published within 12 months of that game release.
During suspension, the Mod and standalone compiled Modified Works may be redistributed without prior permission, subject to all remaining terms of this license. Lack of updates alone is not abandonment while the Mod remains obtainable and functional.
6. Termination and Other Terms
Your rights under this license terminate automatically and permanently if you violate any condition. Termination does not affect compliant recipients.
This license grants no right to use the Mod's or copyright holder's names, logos, or branding to imply sponsorship, endorsement, or official status. Descriptive use to identify compatibility or derivation is allowed.
This license covers only material the copyright holder has authority to license. Third-party materials remain under their own licenses and notices.
