Sat's Addon Licence
I developed this for my addons with the help of a friend who is a real live copyright lawyer. It's tailored specifically for (my) addons. As you can see, it's written for Canadian law, but it should be good to go for any country that is signatory to the Berne convention - but I am not the lawyer and it might be a good idea to check with one who is versed in your jurisdiction's requirements.

- If you aren't Canadian, Section 11 needs to be changed. You can get examples of similar statements for other jurisdictions here: http://www.cptech.org/ecom/ucita/lic...isdiction.html. You could also just delete Section 11. All it does is tell people that if you end up suing them, it will come from whatever jurisdiction. Lots of licences have no such clause and really, who are you honestly going to take to court over your addon anyway?
- In the US, moral rights (attribution and integrity) as referenced in Section 9 don't exist in US copyright law. They are instead generally held to be covered by libel and slander laws. Those rights are included in most other jurisdictions' copyright laws, though, so having them in there covers your bases. - This licence specifically doesn't allow modified versions of the software ("fan updates") to be created without explicit consent. If you don't want that, please consider using a different licence, or creating a new one (based on this one if you want!), but having a bunch of differing and custom versions of "Sat's Addon Licence" floating around is messy - There's a copypasta version of the licence that isn't filled out, and has those basic notes here: http://evilempireguild.org/SBF/licence.txt If you think it's what you need, use it!
