The revival is built from three kinds of work: the project's own code, skins made by the Ace of Spades and OpenSpades community, and the original game that all of it depends on. Each has different owners and different terms, and this page names them. ![Blue Ace of Spades construction blueprint texture](https://www.aosplay.net/game/ui/prefab_selection_blueprint.webp) _Every community skin keeps its author's name, its source page and the licence its author chose._ ## At a glance | Value | Meaning | | --- | --- | | 159 | community skins | | 72 | source packs | | AGPL-3.0 | project code | | FREE | no paid items | ## Community skins and their authors The weapon, character, tombstone and world-object skins in the game were made by community authors, most of them for OpenSpades and published on GameBanana. They are not the project's work and are not covered by the project's licence. Each one keeps the terms its author chose. Most are under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0. That is why skins are never sold, why crates cannot be bought, and why every skin is listed here with its author, its licence and a link to where it was published. Sounds that came with a pack are credited to the same authors. The full record for each item, including the original archive hash and the complete licence text, ships with the game in its cosmetics credits folder. > **Authors — Is your work listed here?.** If you made one of these skins and want the credit changed, a link added, or the skin removed, say so in the Discord and it will be done. No reason is needed. ## OpenSpades assets Skin packs made for OpenSpades build on its base models, animations and scripts. Those are distributed under the OpenSpades Non-GPL Pak License, which allows redistribution only as part of a free, non-commercial, open-source project and does not allow the audio files to be redistributed on their own. OpenSpades itself is free software under the GNU General Public License version 3, by yvt and contributors. ## The project's own code The BattleSpades server and the BattleSpades client are written by the project and released under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later. Anyone may run, study, change and share them, as long as changed versions stay under the same licence and their source is offered to the people who use them, including over a network. Server releases up to 0.1.0-beta.1 were published under the MIT licence and stay under it. Libraries the project uses keep their own licences. They are listed in the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES file of each repository. ## The original game, its maps and its artwork Ace of Spades was created by Ben Aksoy and developed and published by Jagex. The game, its name, its maps, models, sounds, fonts, menus and artwork belong to their owners. This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jagex, Valve or the original developers, and claims no rights in any of it. The client does not include the original game's files. It reads them from your own installed copy of Ace of Spades: Battle Builder. The server repository does include the stock map files and construction prefabs, because a server cannot run the original maps without them; they remain the property of their owners and are not covered by the project's licence. The same is true of the screenshots, menu artwork, fonts, map previews and base models shown on this site and in Skin Studio. A rights holder who wants any of this material removed can ask through the Discord and it will be taken down. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I sell skins or charge for crates on my server? No. Almost every community skin is licensed for non-commercial use only, so skins, crates and the items in them must stay free. ### Can I use these skins in my own project? Only under the terms each author set. Follow the source link for the skin, read its licence, and ask the author where the licence says to ask. The project cannot give permission on an author's behalf. ### Who owns the Ace of Spades maps? The original maps belong to the owners of Ace of Spades. They are included with the server so it can run them, and are not covered by the project's open-source licence. ### How do I get my skin removed or my credit fixed? Ask in the project Discord (discord.gg/aosbb). Authors do not need to give a reason. ## Related reading - [About the Ace of Spades Revival](https://www.aosplay.net/about) ([Markdown](https://www.aosplay.net/docs/about.md)) - [Ace of Spades Revival Privacy Notice](https://www.aosplay.net/privacy) ([Markdown](https://www.aosplay.net/docs/privacy.md)) - [BattleSpades dedicated server](https://www.aosplay.net/dedicated-server) ([Markdown](https://www.aosplay.net/docs/dedicated-server.md)) --- Source: [Ace of Spades Revival Credits and Licences](https://www.aosplay.net/credits) Maintained by Ace of Spades Revival contributors.
