Thank you, I have never used licenses before. Your plugin will help me a lot.

Cool plugin, but the scroll bars don’t work anymore

Does this mean the same for plugins? :thinking:

I have a few questions for this.

  1. Why would you (or the person who made script with said license) be blamed for an issue? If anything it falls on whoever inserted the public script without reviewing it to see if it had any errors.

  2. Why are licenses even needed? Most of your licenses say something along the lines of “Anyone is allowed to edit, copy, sell, etc this script” and whatnot. Allowing players to purchase your scripts via Roblox’s library already gives them said permission.

  3. What if a player simply removes the license? Since it isn’t undeleteable, anyone could simply remove the license which removes anything this license could’ve been doing for the script.

I like the idea of a licenser, but it’s not needed. If anything at all, it makes your script seem a tiny bit more professional. Good work though, I like the plugin interface.

Thank you for the kind words, I’ll go over some of your questions:

With the Script being public, a user could insert this but if it causes any problems they can be able to blame you for any damage done. These licenses guarantee that if your Script were to do anything to their game then you aren’t to blame.

Them being public does not necessarily imply that you are giving the taker permission to do what they’d like with it, these licenses state what you can and cannot do with them.

Indeed that is a problem, but if you’re able to show that you distributed your Scripts with a license then you can take action.

Do take my words with a grain of salt though, I’m not entirely a specialist with licenses.

heh, I had an idea for this a couple years ago, but never put it into action, glad to see someone else finally had the same idea and executed it near perfectly too!

This seems like a good plugin. However, I would like to ask something, so once I add a license to my script, does that mean that nobody can steal my script?

This does not mean that nobody can steal your script, although, depending on the license you choose, makes it illegal to steal your script(if it does not follow the conditions of the license).

Update

Hey folks, I’ve back come and revamped the plugin as two widgets which’ll warn you if you have a LICENSE or nothing selected. The smooth scrolling has been removed since ScrollingFrames now have native support.

Thanks for using Licenser.

What if you have a normal game and it’s not open sourced or anything, and maybe someone hacks and gets the script, will the licenses help?

These licenses are mainly for open-source Scripts and give permissions with what you can do with them. They probably do not give any authority if the Script isn’t out in the public domain.

I have two other question(sorry for all of them).
So let’s say you open source your game with this license. What if someone just deletes the license from your game, then how are you gonna prove that you had the licence?

Can you have more than one license in your game?

You should really stick to one license and enforce specifically that.

Will a screenshot suffice? A lot of people say that screenshots could be edited and might not be enough proof.

A screenshot probably would, otherwise you can prove it with the asset itself.

Of course, I can’t justify if evidence would suffice - I’m not a lawyer.

I am fairly new to licensing. Do they cost any money?
