Request

This is the URL for the mod I would like to be added:

https://github.com/phseiff/randungeon

My opinion on how it fits with the whynot rules:

Refer to the Whynot Readme for full rule descriptions/reasons.

1. In what ways might this mod take over the game?
   • Adds a lot of content? Not sure if it counts.
   • Worldgen related - but it's very configurable.
2. When could this mod be a strain on the server when no players are using the mod?
   • Only runs when requested, or during gen. Never.
3. When does this mod destroy player's work?
   • Only upon admin account request it can generated dungeons on the fly in arbitrary locations. Unsure as to what level of control this mod gives to prevent work destruction. TODO
4. Have you looked at the code? If so, what stood out as things that might need fixing?
   *
5. In what way might this mod be reduced to be more simple (as in "Keep it Simple Stupid") (ex: "the foobar mod could be made more simple by splitting into two mods, foo and bar")
   *
6. Is this mod survival friendly? What items that it provides that should be craftable/obtainable, but arent?
   • Does provide materials that might be a bit more on the rare side of things - but I don't think it's enough to cause problems.
7. When does this mod feel like cheating?
   • Only if something high value? Not sure. Playtest needed. Seems designed to prevent this.
8. Does this mod use the software "git" for version control? (note: we are asking about git. Github, Gitlab, notabug and hundreds of other git providers exist but are not specificly needed, although these do qualify).
   • Yes.
9. Upon testing this mod, what errors, odd behavior, or other incompatibilities were noticed?
   *
10. Is the licence one that we can include in WhyNot? (Whynot is under the GPLv3 only. Be sure you know what you are talking about or cite your source)

• AGPLv3 for code
• CC by SA 3 for media

Other comments

There's virtually nothing in the world. This can help with that.

Please note that the GNU AGPL is not compatible with GPLv2.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#AGPLv3.0

Whynot is under GPLv2.

However, you are allowed to combine separate modules or source files released under both of those licenses in a single project, which will provide many programmers with all the permission they need to make the programs they want. See section 13 of both licenses for details.

From Section 13 of AGPLv3

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

If we upgrade to GPLv2 or later, then take the later route, this is a mod we will gain

I actually appear to be wrong about that. I got things mixed up somehow. WhyNot is GPLv3, so it looks like this might be fine.

Because our code is hosted publicly (here), we are compatible with this licence.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
