Terms of grant of license of use of IP rights

Post by Moon Adamant »

Hello everyone,

To conclude the process of development of the physical structures in Colonia Nova, we will now arrange the docs for use of IP rights.

After consideration, the best approach - and the best defense of the rights of all individuals and of the CDS - is that builders do NOT transfer IP rights, but instead [b:2l69tnmx]grant a license for the CDS to use the items in the Colonia Nova sim.[/b:2l69tnmx]

This namely allows our builders to sell their work, and provides that they be consulted again in case of the will to expand in the same thematic.

I thank everyone who has contributed to this issue :)
