Subject: [GZG] Licensing for Full Thrust Game Server
Hi all,
I'm proposing the following license terms for my Full Thrust Game Server. In
order to best protect GZG's rights, I'm using the Common Public Attribution
License (CPAL) and naming GZG as the "Original Developer", which means that
all developers would need to attribute
GZG in their applications. I've also placed the "content" under a non-
commercial license.
Does that seem reasonable to everyone? Also, is this an appropriate usage of
the GZG logo?

Thanks,
