Wallpaper Engine

Wallpaper Engine

Customizable Module Visualizer

Under which License is the Visualizer Published?
I wanted to use your Library (Arthesian Library) in a Wallpaper to add support for further visuals as well as Spotify Integration.
* Arbitrary amount of visualizers
* On-Wallpaper Configuration Panel (HTML Overlay)
* Per visual effects (bounce on beat etc instead of effect on the whole canvas)
* Spotify Visual (with OAuth Progress Integration)

It's working well, but I had to make some (minor) changes to the library and could not just add your Wallpaper as a requirement.

Since I use your code I would like to know if I can publish the Wallpaper to the Workshop.

I could not find any license in your files, the bitbucket repo or at the workshop page.
All other libraries I use are under MIT license.

Best regards :)

Thanks for asking :) BTW

I updated the license information. I wasn't really sure what to go for to be completely honest, but I think GNU GPLv3 should cover my 'intentions'

Basically I like to share my code, and I feel honoured if you see some benefit in using my code - haha. but with the restriction that derivative works are also 'shared-alike'. And somehow that my name is mentioned somewhere xD So I added a copyright line to each file I guess :P I'm not really sure how that works...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have no access to the Arthesian Library Submodule and cannot read the License directly. I just took the code from the Workshop^^

However, the GNUv3 should be well-suited for my intentions as well. Credit is (already) given in the Control Panel (along with Credit to all other used Libraries).

I would like to publish the project via Gitlab, so shared-alike is also covered.

Just for your information, afaik the GNUv3 does not enforce sharing of other program parts - only the changes made to your code (often referred to as a plugin in the license texts) have to be made available. I will setup a Repo and keep you updated here so you can check if your requirements are met ;)

I usually do not work with "complicated" licenses, neither. Nearly all my Software is licensed under the GPLv3 or MIT anyway.

Thanks for the great work :)

ah nice. Looks cool :)

also, please note. when I said GNUv3, I meant GNU GPLv3 :P

So you are right. You don't have to share your project in the same way. But do need to publish the changes made to the library (if any)

(I'm learning - haha)

Exactly :)

So now I only have to get clarification on the Spotify Icon and Logo^^

Thanks for your answers
