Woody Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Don't know where else to put this, but I have a question. Am I allowed to release a free script even though there's a same script which is premium? AIO Fletcher for instance.
Twin Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Well there was a huge debate over this, and I'm pretty sure there is already a free AIO fletcher unless vlad made his premium. If you don't release it on the SDN though it's free game.

Cruel Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 http://osbot.org/forum/forum-181/announcement-25-scriptscripter-rules/ Within' this it mentions AIO scripts that are free are not allowed. If yours truly is an AIO than I would probably say you need to make it premium. 1

If you don't release it on the SDN though it's free game. It was just an example since there are already premium fletching scripts. I'm not releasing an AIO fletching script. http://osbot.org/forum/forum-181/announcement-25-scriptscripter-rules/ I'm not allowed to release a premium AIO script if there's already a free one?
Apaec Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not allowed to release a premium AIO script if there's already a free one? You can do this ^ but it wont sell very well unless the free one is broken/bad But you cannot release a free version of a premium script.
Woody Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 You can do this ^ but it wont sell very well unless the free one is broken/bad But you cannot release a free version of a premium script. I'm not planing on releasing any premium scripts. I want to release free scripts. I find it pity that some people release scripts as premium when it should be for free. Like ghoul killer for instance

Woody Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Why is it a pity? Easy-made scripts should not be premium. 2
Apaec Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Easy-made scripts should not be premium. Poorly maintained scripts should not be premium What's wrong with having a script which is easy to code as a premium one? the fact that it is premium guarentees the userbase is lower and the script is well maintained. This cannot be said for free scripts

This cannot be said for free scripts Oh boy, I can tell that you've not been around when rsbot was the most popular bot. So many good, free scripts made by kind people. What's wrong with having a script which is easy to code as a premium one? Easy to make should be free, because it's easy to make it. Hard to make should be premium if wanted, because the person devote a lot of their free time to the project; should be rewarded.

Woody Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Someone clarify this: Apparently you can't release a premium script if there's a free script of it, gl guise Yea, I also take that as you can't release a premium script if there's a same version for free.
FrostBug Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Yea, I also take that as you can't release a premium script if there's a same version for free. You can What you cannot do is release a free AIO script to the SDN. If your script is not AIO, then there should be no problem either. Edited April 16, 2015 by FrostBug
