Bioware Revises NWN EULA

malaire writes "Assistant Producer Derek French of Neverwinter Nights has posted the new EULA for all to see. This addresses most concerns raised by the community about user-created content for the game." Our story noting the EULA concerns makes interesting, if somewhat confusing, reading.

Whatever......

Like anyone is going to read the EULA now anyways.....

Lending illegal?

[Bollie]

From section 2:

You may not copy, rent, lend, lease, sublicense, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works based upon the Software (except as provided in Section 3 below) or otherwise commercially exploit the Software (including, without limitation, hosting pay-per-play servers).

Copy, rent, lease, sublicense and all those junk I understand, but forbidding me to lend it to my friend is going overboard. Ah, well, I'll just have to exchange it for another game then ;-)

Also, since the end-user can't publicly display NWN, it seems like they'll be releasing them in nondescript black boxes then...

You have ever right to lend the latest Britney Spears album to a friend. It falls well under fair use, and they can't take that away by simply putting in an EULA for a freakin CD.

For movies, last time I read the FBI warning, it mentioned things like 'public viewings' and 'commercial displays'. It never says anything about lending. Go read it again.

The thing that sould most interest you, however, is how good of a friend you lend it to. If they never give it back, they have your best interests in mind, and have shown there trueness.

Now, a Satriani, Mudhens, or Beethoven album, they damn well better give back.

soul

Im still looking for the part where I agree to give my soul to bioware when I buy the game. That always hapens when I buy one of these games.
