Graham	bb6bd3861e	Switch to the ISC license ... I've been considering this for a long time, and have decided to switch to it at the last minute before opening the repository up publicly. My reasons include: * It's a much simpler license. GPL's complexity adds some risk - for example, it might be incompatible with future open-source licenses (like the well-known GPLv2/Apache v2 incompatibility problem). The "or any later version" clause requires placing some trust in the Free Software Foundation. * The simplicity makes it easier for people to understand and comply with the license. * Dishonest users who disobey the GPL would have an advantage over honest users who refuse to do so. The ISC license provides a much more even playing field. * OpenRS2 will primarily be server software accessible over a network. As such, the GPL can do little to prevent use of the code in a proprietary system, as the code is never distributed. (While the AGPL would fix this, I have already discounted it. Enforcement would be too difficult and dishonest users would have an unfair advantage.) * It's much easier to switch to a stricter license in future versions, if it turns out that is desirable (as the ISC license allows users to sublicense the code). However, switching from the GPL to the ISC license requires all copyright holders to grant permission. * Other open-source projects in the community, such as Apollo, use the ISC license and will be able to make use of OpenRS2 code if they so desire. I've removed the FAQ entry about the reasons for using the GPL license, as I think the ISC license is less controversial and therefore does not require an entry. I've discussed this with Desetude, and he's okay with his commit being relicensed.	5 years ago

Graham	d575c25ebd	Switch license to GPLv3 or later ... I've been thinking about this for a while. On the one hand, using the "or later" clause means we have to place some trust in the Free Software Foundation. On the other hand, being able to adopt newer versions of the license without having to contact all contributors is useful for compatibility (e.g. Apache 2 and GPLv3). I recently noticed that Section 14 states that new versions of the license will be "similar in spirit" to the current version. I think this reduces the amount of trust we need to place in the FSF, as I'd hope that if a future license did diverge too much from the original spirit that a court might not consider it valid. Furthermore, if the FSF went totally crazy, there are many bigger and more important projects who would experience the same problem.	5 years ago

Graham	57ed35465a	Update copyright year	5 years ago
Graham	56c4dfe3c2	Add netscape.javascript.JSObject stubs ... This is the bare minimum required to build the client. Returning null in getWindow() makes this class appropriate for use at runtime too, as the function is documented as returning null if the application is not connected to a browser.	5 years ago
Graham	98692c7d78	Add Java 8 compatibility ... As a result of the Kotlin port, using Java 11 becomes less important. Java 8 is still fairly widespread, so I think supporting it is still worthwhile.	5 years ago
Graham	8ccbea16f1	Add ktlint to the README	5 years ago
Graham	b47e9745ca	Reduce required JDK version to 11 ... It is an LTS release that will remain supported for a while. It is also supported by Quasar 0.8.x, but JDK 13 is not (and JDK 12 will not be supported for much longer).	5 years ago
Graham	7855636d8c	Remove 'or later' from JDK 12 version requirement ... Quasar doesn't support JDK 13.	5 years ago
Graham	af5e0c72fd	Add build status badge to the README	5 years ago
Graham	0b2cf5660f	Move native libraries to a separate repository ... This is for several reasons: * It makes building the main OpenRS2 repository easier, as it no longer requires a C compiler. * Pre-built versions for all platforms will be available in the Maven repository. Many versions might not have access to build environments for all of the supported operating systems and architectures. * The bundler module should be able to depend on the pre-built versions in the Maven repository. The Maven reactor isn't quite clever enough for this to work, especially when depending on .nar artifacts with a different operating system or architecture.	5 years ago

Graham	4ad8606b97	License deob-annotations under the LGPL ... Like the *-natives modules, it needs to be legal to link this code with the proprietary client code.	5 years ago

Graham	1b77c5e454	Change GPL v3 -> v3.0 ... This is just to clarify that the intention is that only the original v3 license is acceptable.	5 years ago
