Hello, https://feedback.bistudio.com/T181830 If you have something to say, post a message in this thread or follow it to show your hope for a stable Linux version of the server. Have a nice DayZ.

Hello my friends, I am delighted that this topic has received so much attention and participation. Unfortunately, with so many messages, I cannot respond to everyone 🤣. Therefore, I will simply list the changes between the draft of version 0 and version 1. Patchnote Version 1 Non-exhaustive list of introduced changes Have a nice DayZ

Hello, I want to create a set of mods for the game DayZ. From my own experience using other mods, I have noticed that many are published under overly restrictive licenses, preventing their modification or republication. These constraints limit future improvements, corrections, or customizations. I have therefore decided to create a special license for my mods to avoid these limitations and to meet the expectations of some modders who publish under restrictive licenses, encouraging them to use this new license. Theses versions are still drafts. Some points are naives and need to be completed and refined. I am sharing it with you today to gather your initial feedback and make adjustments if necessary. Draft version 1 English [[DRAFT]] License "Ybasthis Immortal DayZ Modding" (YIDZM). This license is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Bohemia Interactive a.s. Version 1 International Abbreviation YIDZM License Summary Objectives Nomenclature Terminology Conditions of use Conditions of publication Liability Trademarks License evolvability Objectives The "Ybasthis Immortal DayZ Modding" (YIDZM) license was created to ensure the longevity of DayZ through community-produced additional content, guaranteeing its accessibility, usability, modification, and publication for future generations. It also aims to acknowledge authors for their work and prevent misuse of their work. This license standardizes certain aspects of content publication to facilitate understanding of additions ("$Addition"). Nomenclature $ Designates a reference to an element explicitly defined in the terminology section. $$ Designates an element to be substituted. Terminology A reference to one of these terms must be adapted to ensure grammatical correctness in its usage. Game Video game software, specifically DayZ and its sequels, only the official versions produced by Bohemia Interactive. Mod Set of files to extend or modify a $Game. ModS $Mod that only a specific set of servers can use. Configuration Files to configure a $Game or a $Mod. ModPack Fusion of mods without enhancement or change. ModPackX Like a $ModPack, but with modifications for coherent integration. Addition Can be a $Mod, a $Configuration, or any type of $ModPack. CompatibleLicense A compatible license is a license that allows an $Addition under this license to be used as a dependency for another $Addition under the "YIDZM License" or to be used together. This was put in place to ensure that all software components constituting an $Addition under the 'YIDZM License' can be modified and redistributed. The compatible licenses are: - "YIDZM License" - "DPL" (https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/dayz-public-license-dpl) - "ADPL-SA" (https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/arma-and-dayz-public-license-share-alike-adpl-sa) - OSI-approved licenses (https://opensource.org/licenses), provided they do not impose contaminating restrictions on the software, mods, or servers that depend on them. Whichever license is chosen, it must allow usage on monetized servers without conditions other than respecting the "Arma 3 and Dayz Server Monetization Rules" (official documents: https://www.bohemia.net/monetization). Conditions of Use Prohibitions - Selling or restricting any part of the content under the "YIDZM License" in any form. All publications must be publicly accessible. On a server, access to elements in the $Game covered by this license must be free, although subscription or account creation fees for server connection may apply. Authors can, however, be remunerated by other means, such as donations, advertisements, or the sale of their work time, for example. - Using the content for deliberately malicious purposes. - Using the $Addition alongside other $Additions using unauthorized licenses. See $CompatibleLicense. This prohibition is nuanced in the "Permissions" section. Permissions - Use, store, and/or modify privately (within the household) without restriction. - Reference content under this license in a Steam collection without restriction. - Modify or include/reuse parts in an $Addition while respecting the publication rules. - Use on a server, monetized or not (if authorized by Bohemia Interactive). - Use the $Addition alongside $ModS even if they use licenses not authorized by $CompatibleLicense. Obligations - Respect the "Dayz End User License Agreement" (official documents: https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/dayz-end-user-license). - Respect the "Game Content Usage Rules" (official documents: https://www.bohemia.net/community/game-content-usage-rules). - Respect the "Arma 3 and Dayz Server Monetization Rules" (official documents: https://www.bohemia.net/monetization). - Respect all other official documents produced by Bohemia Interactive, available at https://www.bohemia.net and https://dayz.com. - Respect the "Conditions of Publication" of this license when publishing. Examples Authorized Not authorized Conditions of Publication Prohibitions - Publishing $ModPacks. - Publishing $ModS. - Publishing or converting content for games other than the $Game. - Restricting the use of content under this license in any way other than by applying this license. - Publishing using a draft-annotated version of this license. Permissions - Publish a $Mod, a $Configuration, or a $ModPackX. - List partners or sponsors via labels or logos in a dedicated section on the Steam page. - List services in a dedicated section on the Steam page. - Have dependencies under $CompatibleLicense. - Add your trademarks at the end of this license to protect them. Obligations - Use this license. - Follow the "Conditions of Use" of the license. - Be the author or owner of the resources used or they must be under a CCO compatible license or YIDZM. - Make the sources publicly accessible, either by incorporating them into the $Addition content or by referencing them on the Steam Workshop page of the $Addition (zip, 7z files, or online git repositories accepted). - Reference the Steam page with a link in your publications external to Steam (e.g., in a readme for a git repository). - Create a license.txt file at the root of your $Addition containing this license. - On Steam: - Create a Steam page for your $Addition, selecting the correct $Game, categories, and tags. - Add as authors all individuals who contributed to this $Addition. - Define the first line of this page as: "<title>$$NameAddition : $$Category</title>" (where $$Category is "Mod", "Configuration" or "ModPackX"). - Include in the last section: "License : <link>YIDZM</link>". - For a $ModPackX, include a "Mod" section listing each $Mod with "<link>$$ModName</link> $$Date" (where $$Date is the date the mod was retrieved). Examples Authorized Not authorized Adding your trademarks Perform these operations for all translations of the license, which are at a minimum in English and French. 1 - Go to the "Trademarks" section. 2 - Skip a line between the last trademark and "$$YourTrademarks". 3 - Add your trademarks to this newly created line. Liability Any translation of this license is provided solely for convenience, and in case of divergence, the French version prevails. Under no circumstances shall the authors or distributors of content under this license be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, the procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) arising in any way from the use of content under this license, regardless of the form of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise), even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damages. However, this clause does not protect the authors or distributors in the event of intentional or malicious misconduct on their part. Trademarks You may use these trademarks only in the case of fair use. Anything you create should not appear as an official product of any of these trademarks. Bohemia Interactive and DAYZ are registered trademarks or trademarks of Bohemia Interactive a.s. Ybasthis is a registered trademark or trademark of Ybasthis. $$YourTrademarks License Evolvability The latest version of the "YIDZM" license can be found here: https://forums.dayz.com/topic/259856-ybasthis-immortal-dayz-modding-license/. Any version of this license can be replaced by a subsequent version that is not a draft of the same license. Adding your trademarks to this license for the $Additions you publish is not considered an evolution of the license. If you update the license of an $Addition, ensure that you carry over the trademarks listed in the previous version specific to that $Addition and that are not present in the new version of the license published by Ybasthis. Additionally, the content of the $Addition must comply with the new version. Updating the license of an $Addition to comply with the latest version of the license cannot be compelled and must be done solely on a voluntary basis. Only Ybasthis can modify the terms of this license, and only in these cases: Take into account the changes in the various Bohemia Interactive contracts and licenses to be respected for DayZ, if any. Adapt the publication requirements to support modifications to the DayZ modding system that may occur or if the system is not the same for one of its sequels.
