Cavemanon Affero GPL v3.0 Video Game Store Front Exception v2.0 - CAGPL-/VG/SFE v2.0
Copyright (C) 2021 Cavemanon
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license exception document. Derivatives are allowed so long as the name and copyright information has been changed.
The purpose of this exception is to offer a nullification of some parts of the GNU Affero GPL and CC-BY-SA 4.0 as to allow our software to be distributed by common digital store fronts that users may use. The point of this is to allow users of these digital store fronts to gain access to our software and for us to profit off the software. No terms in this agreement should violate the end user's freedom to share, distribute, use, etc. any part of the Cavemanon sourced parts of the software. We are also committed to not pushing users towards using these platforms by feature hogging or the creation of proprietary add-ons. If this fear is reasonable, do not contribute to this project.
===BEGIN TERMS OF EXCEPTION===
Contributors - Those who have, with Cavemanon's approval, added copyrightable material to the program.
"This Project" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under the GNU Affero GPL and CC-BY-SA 4.0 from Cavemanon.
Digital Store Fronts - Those stores that distribute software to consumers by any methodology.
Independently Sourced Versions - Versions of the software that have been sourced in such a way that the exception for digital store fronts does not apply.
This exemption only tackles licensing exemptions. Non-Cavemanon approved digital store fronts may, so long as they do not violate the GNU Affero GPL v3.0 or CC-BY-SA 4.0, distribute our software as those licenses dictate without any hindrance.
These terms only apply to software Cavemanon has copyrights over. Any remixes or additions to our software need not follow this exemption policy.
Cavemanon and its contributors to This Project agree to give Cavemanon exclusive choice over what digital store fronts are given an exclusive, non-transferable right to host This Project and its assets without triggering any of the license retaining, anti-tivoization, share-alike properties, or any other distribution inhibiting requirements or restrictions of the GNU Affero GPL v3.0 or the CC-BY-SA 4.0 in their distribution. Any distribution of Cavemanon intellectual properties by these digital store fronts will retain the GNU Affero GPL v3.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0 licensing scheme but with an exception to any digital store front added software. This practically means that, so long as Cavemanon is the one listing the software on a digital store front that would in some way violate the GNU Affero GPL or CC-BY-SA 4.0, that violation would be made null and void. However, the GNU Affero GPL v3.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0 would still apply to any downstream users who obtained the intellectual properties from said digital store front. Users who receive the product must be able to distribute all source code, object code, or other copyrightable assets of the software in accordance with the GNU Affero GPL v3.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0 regardless of how they obtain it. This distribution requirement does not apply to copyrightable material or other intellectual properties that are not sourced from Cavemanon. This right given to digital storefronts can be revoked at any time by Cavemanon.
