Could you please explain what do you mean by

s/resposnible/responsible/ paragraph 3

My main question as someone who works on a set of open source apps is how this interacts with other peoples' ability to modify code that I publish, and whether code written for CREST is going to be compatible with certain restrictive open source licenses (e.g. GPL) given that the CREST license agreement appears to place restrictions on how any code combined with CCP code can be used.

The other interesting question is whether I should publish source without dev API keys embedded and force each user to sign the CREST agreement in order to use an app, or whether I publish binary blobs containing my API key and hope nobody reverse engineers my dev API key from the binary.

You're really covering the bases with that Force Majeure clause, aren't you?

As for the way to distribute code:

Distribute source without your api stuff. Binary blobs are another matter (but be ready for revocation). Anyone that works with twitter apps has the same issue.

Any reason why my post was deleted when I asked a valid question?

I'll reiterate, is this leading to in game apps or not?

My pants are tighter.

Yay, so very excited about this.

Thanks also for addressing *all* of the concerns the CSM had with the previous version, including adding that condition to the Force Majeure clause... :)

Developer grants CCP a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, nontransferrable right during the Term (i) to use the Application and view any publicly available materials associated therewith (e.g., documentation), and (ii) ***upon written
request of CCP delivered to Developer, to inspect the workings of the Application, including but not limited to its source code***

I have developed for numerous third party products in the past and I have *never* been required to sign an agreeement which allows a third party access to my source code, especially in such a way that is worded to be deliberatly open ended. There is no mention of disclosure agreements, retention, filtering or limitation of access.

This is not something I could in good faith suggest any developer accept, especially if they're dealing with things such as online services and centralised databases.

Also, does this prevent charging monthly fees for things such as CREST-integrated KBs running tasks such as as auto-reimbursement?

can you please clarify:
charging (ingame) ISK for applications is not allowed, only donations?

This also means that there will be a developers community page where all player could go and harvest their programs???

This sounds good! No more Internet Scavenging...

Now this is really nice. Looking forward to this.

I would like input on the advert parts though, looking at for example Google Ads where there is somewhat limited ability to control them, how is this viewed in terms of the EULA breach?
