Not trying to be ungrateful, but wtf did you ever do? Is Ares open source now as it should have been from the start when you hijacked the original license or what? I only see your name in ppm dramas and nothing more. The big goodbye from a PIFF who bent the knee before latinos such ass Banshee who uses Adamstrange and G-E as 2nd accounts to keep his trash alive. Big applause nevertheless. Just burn already you Victor Orban pig.

As one of the project founders I want to express my (and our collectively) gratitude for this decision, especially considering the circumstances under which the project was born and the fact that currently Phobos de-facto is a successor of Ares.

Thank you!

Honestly, I don't trust GH discussions for this. They've already changed formatting twice, despite being a lot younger feature. Providing the statement in a ticket sounds more futureproof to me.

Ares was never open-source. The 4-clause BSD license it uses isn't an open-source license because it includes the advertising claim. Additionally, all contributors need to agree to a possible relicensing. I've made this statement because I've retired from the C&C community, there aren't many people I still keep contact with from it and I wanted to prevent any opportunity incase such a relicensing option ends up blocked on me.

While I didn't do much, my permission is required due to my contributions to Ares AttachEffect, Abductor.ChangeOwner and some preparations for HouseColorBolts. More exactly; these: https://github.com/Ares-Developers/Ares/commits?author=GraionDilach.

This statement allows me to enjoy my time in a community which welcomes and heavily appreciates my contributions to it while also allows any Phobos-affiliate to mediate with the other Ares developers in my name and/or consent. It's a blanket statement, sure, but these are the blanket statements required for such an option.

[GraionDilach]

Yeah, sorry for abusing the bugtracker for this, but I wanted to have a written statement publicly available somewhere.

It's absolutely not a problem, but we can convert it (or just repost it there) to a discussion (and remove the unused fields, the edit history will show it anyways) if you want.
