tacticsandtriumph.com doesn't publish the source code in a good way either, as far as I can see now, so I will have to look into if that service is violating the AGPL license also. Where is the public source code for this project?
Well, this udrop spurce code "dump" doesn't look like a good faith official publication of the source code. It looks like something you created just for the purpose of this particular license discussion. It's very easy to publish the source code of Freeciv-web on GitHub. tacticsandtriumph.com doesn't have a proper source code repository, and certainly doesn't link to source code from it's website.Canik wrote:https://www.udrop.com/5Zfv/tnt.com-docked-10-21.zipAndreasR wrote:Freecivweb.org is currently violating the AGPL license, by not publishing the source code in accordance with the AGPL license.

It is not done in the best way, I admit. We are working towards an operational github repo and in the next update will have a link at the head of the site.
Please remember TnT is only half-way through it's 1st game. That's how new it is. I was having to learn and deal with so much. The code from FCW's would not work as it was from the repo when I downloaded it. I had to figure out the DNS, google auth, nginx, docker, ruleset errors/omissions left out by FCW, https certification and more. While doing all this, I also tried to set up a github but frankly, I messed it up. That is why currently, temporarily, I am releasing Freeciv TnT's code via uDrop while we retry setting up a github properly.
Part of the issue is because FCW's repo had some incomplete/broken code. This created extra confusion for me, new to developing and contributing and lead to some issues in uploading the new now divergent code.
I believe in a matter of weeks I will have a proper github repo up and running. If you would like to assist, please let me know.
Just added a link on the header.

At the moment, I don't think Canikciv is in compliance with the AGPL open source license.
