[GZG] Licensing for Full Thrust Game Server

Hi all,

I'm proposing the following license terms for my Full Thrust Game  
Server. In order to best protect GZG's rights, I'm using the Common  
Public Attribution License (CPAL) and naming GZG as the "Original  
Developer", which means that all developers would need to attribute  
GZG in their applications.  I've also placed the "content" under a non- 
commercial license.

Does that seem reasonable to everyone?	Also, is this an appropriate  
usage of the GZG logo?

Thanks,

Licenses
The Full Thrust Game Server (FTGS) is based on the Full Thrust Light  
ruleset, which Ground Zero Games has released for non-commercial use.

To honor that restriction, FTGS uses the following licenses:

Creative Commons Non-Commercial License
The FTGS data — this website, JSON data structures, and assorted icons
 
— are licensed under a Creative Commons license requiring attribution 

and prohibiting commercial usage.

CPAL Open Source License
The Python source code to FTGS is available under the Common Public  
Attribution License, which credits Ground Zero Games as the “Original 

Developer”. Roughly speaking, this license requires that:

	• all changes must also be contributed back as open source
	• any applications leveraging this code (even as a web
service) must  
visually credit Ground Zero Games

The License is based on the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 but  
Sections 14 and 15 have been added to cover use of software over a  
computer network and provide for limited attribution for the Original

with Exhibit B.
