Xottab-DUTY, an OpenXRay maintainer about current DMCA situation, briefly:
1. I knew that sooner or later such a ban could arrive, so I was preparing for it, and it was not a surprise.
The sources are saved. However, all pull requests and Issues list remained on GitHub, they were not backed up.
2. We communicated with GSC back in 2020 and, according to Zakhar at that time, GSC knows about OpenXRay and many other projects and supports their activities.
3. According to GSC's statement on Twitter and, according to some other signs, the complaint of copyright infringement was NOT made by GSC themselves, but by a troll who knows how to do it competently. In my opinion, this is probably the same troll who was involved in the ban of the S2UE project last year and in the bans of YouTube channels several years ago.
4. There are no plans to leave GitHub, we will work on restoring the repository. Wave the hype there so that the GSC will pay attention.
5. This situation shows that no project in stalker modding is protected and can also be banned.
I think that here we should all work together with GSC to solve this problem: finally officially open the source code of the X-Ray engine, issue an acceptable license for creating mods. At the moment we only have a license for the official SDK, according to which all mods are voluntarily transferred to GSC (read – belong to GSC). I understand that GSC has its own commercial interests and this is good, but the interests of modders are now completely unaccounted for. We need to come to some kind of mutually beneficial solution.
6. I have already written to GSC, we will be positive that we will not only be able to restore the repository, but also solve the stagnant problems mentioned above.
