I have an item that uses this script and the script is completely viewable. Yet the comments in the script itself read...

//For explicit use only by members of the Kazenojin Airship guild
//
//May be sold with explicit permission from Goodwill Epoch to non-members
//Settings must be set to no-modify no view to prevent theft of script
//script may not be modified without permission from Goodwill Epoch

What's up with this? The item was given to me a couple weeks ago or so. Did the terms change on this script at some point? This one is dated 6/12/2003.

TIA!

Dont worry about it now, X-Flight has been distributed and re-distributed, modified, and changed so many times, that I do not believe that is or can be enforced anymore.

If your worried about that, Ill send you a different version of X-Flight, that doesnt have that part in it.

I'm curious, did Goodwill or any members of Kazenojin ever say anything about it?

Yeah, I'd like to know this, too. I'd love to use the script but I am very hesitant to do so due to the warning within the script itself. I'd rather not go ahead and use it just because everyone else is, you see. ^-^;

Back in the day, we didnt have permissions on textures, scripts, or anything other than objects. So this kinda thing happened very often :)
And rightly so - SL was originally created as a place for sharing and collaborating, not a place for the crazy copyright-heads. Sort of like a 3D version of sourceforge.net, come to think of it.

So far as I know, this disclaimer still stands (Any version you have without the disclaimer is the result of someone else stripping it out, all 'original' versions have it)... But it's basicly a lost cause, so we (Kaze-no-jin) don't really try to enforce it... Not like we could even if we wanted to.
