I was about to go look for that specific blog post myself...
Also, let's not hurl around legalistic fufu here, folks. It just never ends well and just makes for much grumpiness. The crux of such I think comes from the misapprehension people have that such law is applied consistently anyway (personal experience: No, no it isn't). I'd go into more but I'd just prefer we drop hammering on that angle because it goes nowhere productive and just turns into shouting matches and hurled insults, at which point a Moderator has to brandish a heavy object at folks.
Hrm...I dunno how I feel about this one.
Copyright aside - it's a horrifically stupid system in the US especially - this is something I'm not necessarily crazy about. RP2 had a LOT of issues, but the state of modding at the time meant that it got a free pass. We've moved to an era where people understand server performance, and modders - some far more than others - try and make their mods performance friendly.
RP2 is a bit like a '67 Mustang. Yeah, I have a modern one (2012), but I'd love to have a classic one in my garage as well. But when it comes down to it, it's the art aspect that people love. It's sexy, and there's a nostalgia. The horrible fuel economy, lack of any modern features (ABS, safety, trac control, countless engine improvements), and relatively low power compared to the new one are going to be painfully apparent once I actually own one, but I sure do love the thought of it. And every now and then, it'd be fun to drive. But the new one is gonna be a lot better in the quarter mile.
EDIT: To be fair, RP2 was a Mustang in an era where IC2 was a Steamroller and Buildcraft was a boat. So take that for what you will.

well then, hopefully Eloraam will be working on some sort of nostalgic throwback mustang. a 13' gt500, but with An actual decent braking system plz. The way i view these "reboot" mods is about the same as I view that reboot of EE2. If that's what you like, cool, go for it. I've got no say in what you code, because I'm just a player.
tbh I haven't played with the clones of RP2 much because they lack the two things I miss RP2 for; Blutricity for my early game endeavors, and Forth. pipes, filters, frames, etc can all die in several fires.
The art is in the idea and the implementation. The fact that you need a dictionary to know art when you see it speaks volumes. And you dont share Eloraam's vision. You are copying it. So yeah.
Probably not, they aren't using anything from her mod asides from the idea and names. Not to mention she was gone for months on end and even when active rarely speaks publicly.
I just cant stand the entitled attitudes people have about redpower, as if Eloraam owes people something.
You're using art as a figure of speech, an idea can not be artistic, only the implementation. "works created by artists : paintings, sculptures, etc., that are created to be beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings" - Merriam Webster Dictionary
If 2 things are mirror duplicates of each other, they share the same properties but one can be branded differently. In fact I would argue that some people share Eloraam's vision to an extent that only an exact duplicate can replace it. I have no doubt in my mind that if the Eloraam didn't have claim on the name Redpower, Bluepower might be launched "Redpower Rebooted" or Redpower Revised" or some other manner of indicating its by a different author.
You're minor misuse of the English language aside, this matter should be dropped entirely. Eloraam loses nothing with BluePower in existence and the community can only gain. May the better mod win and may both sides get the respect they deserve. Seriously, I tried MC modding but its a serious time suck that receives little pay if any.
Which part? That whole post was filled with glorious purpose rivaling that of the mighty Kim Jong Un.
You all probably know already, but Elorram is back. She reappeared on Twitter and said she has written the first few lines of RedPower 3.

So what makes Blue Power unique? What will make me use it over the many other clones out there?
According to this https://github.com/Quetzi/BluePower/commit/7b3ed8ca69dbcecd54b4a36223a8a2d94c15cb54
Bluepower has been "shelved indefinitely".
EDIT: It appears as though it's back on https://github.com/Qmunity/BluePower/commits/master

2. An exact implementation, asides from converting the Sortron to a CC peripheral, its the exact same as RP2. Some people call that a downside but in my opinion I have yet to see a mod match its overall polish.
Edit: You have got to be friggin joking me. I say actively developed and not 3 hours earlier they stop working on it.
