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.

Bioware did a Good Thing (tm)

Okay, if anyone actually bothered to READ the EULA, they will see that Bioware has actually done a Good Thing (tm). Now you actually have to distribute your module, as opposed to simply "serving" it. Which I suppose means that if 5,000 people play under me as a DM, they cant touch it, but if I send it to Billy Bob jr to play on his Lindows machine, its fair game. :)

in legal jargon, they cant say that the WILL give credit, if they miss placeing your name somewhere, you could sue the shit out of them, instead, they say use the phrase "make the best effort to" to imply that they will do their best.

to put that in context... its the same as me, a freelance software developer, saying in a contract:

"my company will make the program so that it cant be hacked"

or

"my company will make the best effort to construct the application in such a way to avoid user hacks"
