Regarding private modpacks

[RandomMoped]

So to make a private modpack I heard that you had to get permissions for the mods that you use. Does this include the need to get permissions for mods already in FTB? Because I really don't think I could do without redpower or thaumcraft.

 

[Lambert2191]

yes, afaik that includes those too

 

[DoctorOr]

Many (most?) give blanket permission to the FTB launcher, or are GPL or other shared license. Redpower, however, is one that is neither. And good luck getting in contact.

 

[RandomMoped]

well that makes these private packs next to useless

Why do you think next to nobody is using them?

 

[KirinDave]

So ditch Redpower and lean on wireless redstone instead. I've been trying to wean my builds off of Redpower because I just have 0 confidence in the author's continued interest.

Or use a launcher that just lets you host arbitrary modpacks in S3. It is not like ANY of these license terms are actually legally enforceable anyways.
