RED+ guide

Source code

RED+ is built on Alpine Faction 1.4.0, which is based on Dash Faction. Both are open source, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. RED+ adds its own code, which is not open source.

The open-source parts

RedPlusEditor.dll, RedPlus.exe and CrashHandler.exe are built from Alpine Faction and Dash Faction source files, some of them modified by RED+, together with RED+'s own code. The Alpine Faction and Dash Faction files, including the RED+ changes to them, are covered by the Mozilla Public License 2.0. So are the RED+ files that about\NOTICE.txt in the package lists as released under it.

d3d8to11.dll is RED+'s own and contains no Mozilla Public License code. d3d8to9.dll is third-party software under the BSD-2-Clause license.

Getting the source code

  • Alpine Faction: github.com/GooberRF/alpinefaction. RED+ is based on commit 6c223939, Alpine Faction 1.4.0.

  • The RED+ changes to those files, and the RED+ files released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, are available from RomekRF on request, at no charge, through the contact given where you got RED+. They are sent as the files at the commit the package was built from.

Each package names that commit at the top of about\SOURCE.txt.
