Use of an API doesn't constitute creation of a derivative work (if it did, there'd be no way for anyone to create non-GPL software that ran on Linux, for example).

This whole policy seems massively overreaching, if you ask me. You could theoretically create an addon that doesn't even have a hard dependency on WoW (just use the base lua libs, etc). You couldn't do much of interest, but that's beside the point (well, not to end-users, anyway).

The main lua source file for such an addon would undoubtedly be your own copyright, and thus you have the right to do whatever you want with it, license it however you like, and charge whatever you care for it. Does adding a .toc file to the distribution now instantly hand your copyrights over to Blizzard, and give them the right to dictate your licensing terms?

Simply combining a copyrighted work with another work does not create a derivative work. The original copyrighted work must be modified in some way. The resulting derivative work must itself “represent an original work of authorship.” So if the licensee doesn’t modify the original GPL-licensed program, but merely runs it, he is not creating a derivative work.

Consider the scenario where the Linux operating system, a GPL-licensed program, loads and executes a proprietary program. The Linux program is not modified; it is merely used for the purpose for which it was designed. The proprietary program does not “contain” nor is it “derived from” Linux. Linux does not infect the proprietary program, and the proprietary program does not become subject to the GPL.

An even more tenuous relationship is established between programs that interact through data using a published application program interface (API).
Simply passing data between two programs, even if that data influences the behavior of those programs, does not create a derivative work of either program.

A “derivative work” is defined in the Copyright Act, 17 USC 101, as a:
“work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a ‘derivative work’.”

I think that there should be an "update api" provided by addon hosting sites - acessing the API would require "premium" membership.

There's a version 4 of Pitbull on Curse called Pitbull 4, perhaps that can work?

Quote from flarecde

I'm confused. If addons in a compilation are linked to the same downloads that people are using to download the addons individually then supporting addons in compilations is no different than supporting addons downloaded outside of them. They are the same files, just downloaded slightly differently. The same support issues apply, no? I trying to see the difference in supporting one or the other, other than volume.

Quote from Phanx

I'd also like to know the answer to this. I don't want my addons included in any kind of compilations, premade UIs, guild packs, or whatever else you want to call them, whether it's manually packaged by the uploader, or dynamically packaged by the site. If you like my addon, and want to share it with other people, give them a link to the download page.

You MAY NOT include this addon in compilations or otherwise redistribute
it without the express prior consent of its author.

You MAY freely distribute modified or derivitave versions of this addon,
provided that the name of your version does not include the name of this
addon or its author.

Quote from Pericles

However that does not in any way impact on what I said. It is obvious that the forum persists state info as otherwise you would have to log in again on every click, so it must be using session cookies.

Now without delving into the contents of the cookie I was merely stating that the error most commonly occurs after a lengthy delay, that suggests a session timeout issue. I would be fairly confident that the cookie contains session time information, for revalidation requirements if nothing else, however I've not looked, so happy to be proved wrong.

The developer was saying it was hard to reproduce, I was providing a hopefully useful suggestion as to how to reproduce the error. I have absolutely NO issues with login or session cookies so I'm not sure why you suggested I needed to clear my cookie cache

Quote from Pericles

As a possible source of the error. Try typing a message then leaving the browser go make a cup of coffee, read your emails, etc etc. Come back in 30 mins or longer and click submit reply.

This will probably trigger the error as its my guess its a timeout, as it usually happens when I've written a long wall of text or something thats taken quite a while to research and craft.

Thanks, but all i require is that one daily at wyrmrest to test the stuff ;)

Quote from Daedhir

So, is nobody interested in a Wrath updated version of Buffalo 1?

It works, no bugs, I swear. :)

Quote from Nevcairiel

The actions are created on the pet bar, and two additional buttons that are not associated to a real bar are created for the control of the vehicle. Its true that those 2 buttons are missing, however i never noticed them being on the stance bar at all.

My plan was to add those 2 buttons at the end of the main bar, because in possess mode it only uses 10 buttons anyway (length of the pet bar), sadly i didnt get a chance to do it yet, but will during the next week

Quote from StormFX

Moonwitch: Tne session getting dropped because you started another session is a security feature that's part of vBulletin. The application actually uses your user agent as part of the session identifier, so when you log in with a different browser they don't match, resulting in the oldest getting dropped. Unless they've changed it in the last year, of course. :P
