For Patch Creators

If you're creating a compatibility patch for a mod under the Catch License, you must follow specific guidelines to ensure your patch is compliant.

Responsibilities

  1. Credit the Original Work

    • Name the original mod(s) and author(s).
    • Link to the mod's official distribution page, if available.

  2. Include a Disclaimer (if not affiliated)

    This compatibility patch is an independent creation and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially supported by the original author(s) of the mods involved.

  3. Open Source and License Your Patch

    • Make your patch's source code publicly available.
    • Include a copy of or link to the Catch License.

  4. Use Assets Responsibly

    • Use the author's assets only if strictly necessary for compatibility.
    • Do not alter asset usage rules for content you don't fully own.
    • For examples and best practices, see Asset Usage.

  5. Check Monetization Policies

    • The Catch License does not prohibit monetization, but platform rules, community norms, or the author's own terms may discourage or prohibit it.
    • Before adding donation links or other forms of monetization, ensure it's allowed by the Mod Author and the platform's policies.

  6. No Unauthorized Permissions

    • You cannot grant or alter rights you do not fully own. Doing so violates the License.

How to Apply the Catch License

  • Include the Catch License 1.0.0 (CL-1.0.0) in your patch's files or repository.

  • Replace [YEAR] and [COPYRIGHT HOLDER] with the appropriate details.

  • Add a note in your patch's description:

    This compatibility patch is licensed under the Catch License 1.0.0 (CL-1.0.0). Compatibility patches must comply with its terms.
