Obfuscation

I've received a few complaints regarding servers using ObfuSQF, so I want to clarify my stance.

In short, I tolerate PBO obfuscation as an anti-cheat measure.

However, by the terms of the AGPL license, server admins must provide the full unobfuscated and unbinarized source code for their entire A3Wasteland missions to anyone who asks for it. Ideally, via a public GitHub repository with the GitHub link posted on their community website/forum.

Consider this a legal warning.

I think you should just flat out make it specific that you cannot obfuscate your PBO anymore

From the license's standpoint, the PBO is basically just a binary file like an EXE, so admins can do whatever they want to it, as long as they make their full code publicly available somewhere.

The license cannot be modified to explicitly prohibit PBO obfuscation, so I can't do anything in that regard beyond saying "please stop."

What's the best way to make a report? PM on here?

Yeah just PM me

So you saying all custom script even paid for that are in the .pbo ? ... i need to make them public to everyone if they ask me ?

Any script that interacts with the A3Wasteland core must be made available to everyone in unobfuscated form. This requirement is part of our license agreement. https://tldrlegal.com/l/agpl3

Thank you AgentRev for fast feedback , so if i go down there and ask the server owner on how he fusion the Virtual Arsenal to his A3wasteland server  , he will pleased to share with me  

Who is the .pbo file keeper/handler for Trailer Park A3 Wasteland ?!? I would like to put hands on the Virtual Arsenal spawning and store config ect.. and mod it to suit us and not have a red handed copy and paste .

Try their Discord: https://discord.gg/uAfUP26

thank you AgentRev

I talked with a TrailerPark admin, their Virtual Arsenal is a separate server-side mod, independent from A3Wasteland, so it is not covered by our license. They also told me that their PBO is not obfuscated.

Also, only the A3W dev team has the ability to make legal requests, since we are the copyright holders. People outside of the A3W dev team have no legal power regarding our code.
