Play canset0.3e with OpenTTD MultiEngines+other Trainsets...

[Yexo]

Ok, lets assume that instead of publishing a patch to the trainset to allow it to work with other sets, I produce a patch to OTTD so that it no longer honours the trainsets requirement to not work with other sets, thus producing the same net result. No copyright problems here because my right to do so is enshrined in the GPL.

How would that go down with everybody?

Or would the trainset authors change their license to only allow use with 'authorised' versions of the game?

I guess the later would happen, or some are even going to make their grf's completely incompatible with OpenTTD (as far as possible). Why do you need to try all this? Please, some people have taken a lot of time to draw / code those grf sets, and they have all rights to publish it as they want. If you don't like it, go draw /code some new set that is compatible with all other sets.

Please gentlemen don't waste your precious time arguing over such issues.
