Publishing of included material without prior written +permission of the author is prohibited. + +Publishing of material downloadable here may however be done on a +non-commericial basis. In this case, I would appreciate it if you send me a +note regarding where you make available the material. + +Use of any of the published source code in commercial software is explicilty +NOT allowed without prior written permission. Distributions on Linux +distributions (as is done on SuSE8.0 for example) IS however allowed. Use of +(parts of) the source code in non-commercial software is allowed however. +For commercial usage, licensing may be an option, for which you can contact +the author. + +This is NOT an Open Source project, although many people think so. You CAN +contribute to the source if you want (or cannot resist), but all changes +will go through me to the master source code. This is done to ensure quality +and consistent style for instance. Also, parts of Racer (the QLib/D3 +libraries) are used in other projects, and changing the source code of this +would be counterproductive for the other products that use these libraries. +Therefore, the decision has been made not to OpenSource the source code. +Realise that the copyrights will stay at Dolphinity, so for many people this +will mean that they won't contribute to the source. This is ok to me, the +product seems not large enough to need the whole world to aid in developing +(except for the contents; cars & tracks). To add to the Racer project and +maintain control, it is advised to create separate executables, which may +use parts of the source code, but are not completely separately usable +products. This means you can create a Replay Analyzer which uses track code +from the Racer source code, but that you may NOT create a complete racing +game based on a specific era for example, and distribute this commercially +as a separate product. + +If you have any questions on the usage of the materials presented in the +Racer site, please contact me. + +ADDITIONAL COPYRIGHTS (PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN PARTS OF THE SITE) + +Sports Car GT Copyright Electronic Arts 1999 +F1 2000 Copyright Electronic Arts 2000 +Microsoft Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft +Grand Prix Legends is a registered trademark of Papyrus + +All other trademarks are property of their respective companies. + +No SCGT tracks can and will be found on this website.
