Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

Hahaha, that was great! One reason more why I love MUGEN, you can make pretty much everything. That Homer Simpson and the Dopefish are new to me, but crazy idea nonless.

sweet, where can i get it?

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

there are some links in the wikipedia article under "links"

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

MUGEN technically ISNT freeware because the rights ran out.

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

actually freeware is when the company maintains rights to a free program... youre probably thinking GPL

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

So this thing is illegal to have? That's a shame, it looks really cool.

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

Yes, it is illegal. But no one has been prosecuted for it in the 3 or 4 years its been illegal, and the creator has dissappeared altogether. Its a grey area.

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

Hmmm, sounds more like Abandonware to me.

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

ummm first of all abondonware is illegal and second of all the developers said themselves...

In the monetary sense, the stock MUGEN distribution on our website is made available at no cost to the general public.

Re: LOL dopefish vs homer simpson

It is free, but that doesnt make it legal.

The previous license agreements for usage of M.U.G.E.N from Elecbyte have expired and it appears that a new license agreement will never be granted. Thus, any current distribution of M.U.G.E.N has not been authorized by Elecbyte and is technically illegal. With the license expired on all versions, when running the M.U.G.E.N program, the user is reminded of this through a nag screen. While illegal, some view that the purpose of the executable's nag screen was to encourage adoption of newer iterations of the engine. Evidence of this can be inferred by the brief period of time that a license was made available from the release date of a version of the engine--it was often not long enough to develop an original character from start to finish. Although Elecbyte has never taken any legal action; the company has disappeared without explanation. People chose to continue using M.U.G.E.N, and deprecated versions of it, despite the lack of a new license (the DOS version was still in widespread use when its license had expired at a time when the Linux version's license was still valid). Creations, such as characters and stages, for use with M.U.G.E.N are not a part of Elecbyte's license (provided those creations do not include the executable as well), only the software itself is. It is up to the individual whether or not to violate Elecbyte's license by using M.U.G.E.N. Elecbyte itself has not made a public statement since 2003, when they stated that the project had "hit a snag".
