No licensing strings attached like it was for Steam?

I remember what a drama that was.

What about itch.io?

They have my Bloodlines Unofficial Patch there, even in the plus version, with no licensing issues.

The issues were rather that some people here thought that TDM couldn't be offered in compliance with Steams license regulations, which, frankly, seemed a bit weird, as most (all?) other games didn't seem to have a problem with that.

I believe this might be true, but GOG probably goes another route: my patches or in case it happens The Dark Mod are counted as "mods" for games, Bloodlines and Doom 3 respectively, for which GOG already has the distribution rights.

TBH, I always wondered a bit about GOG's licensing/rights situation. They do things I would never have thought would be possible, considering the rights the owners of the original games/I.P.'s/whatever have. Like, applying some unofficial, community made patches to games, and then selling them on their store. I really can't imagine that the publishers are alright with that.

On the other hand, it probably means that there won't be such a licensing drama with TDM, if GOG don't really care about it.

As far as I know even Steam does this with some of the older games...

I've seen this with the Gothic games, but, they have the OK from the publisher. Or, better said, the publisher pushed versions which have these patches onto Steam.

Not sure how it is with GOG. There are many games which have these unofficial patches applied. The Thief games, for example, come with TFix. I'm not sure if Square Enix (or whoever owns Thief these days) know about that.

I imagine the end user would have a choice, but having it on GoG would take the strain of all the current mirrors that are doing out of thier pockets.

Could the missions be hosted on GOG as well, or just the mod itself?
