"MINECRAFT" LINKING EXCEPTION TO THE GPL | |
Linking this mod statically or dynamically with other modules is making a | |
combined work based on this mod. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU | |
General Public License cover the whole combination. | |
In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of this mod give you | |
permission to combine this mod with free software programs or libraries that | |
are released under the GNU LGPL and with code included in the standard release | |
of Minecraft under All Rights Reserved (or modified versions of such code, with | |
unchanged license). You may copy and distribute such a system following the | |
terms of the GNU GPL for this mod and the licenses of the other code concerned. | |
Note that people who make modified versions of this mod are not obligated to | |
grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is their choice | |
whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives permission to release a | |
modified version without this exception; this exception also makes it possible | |
to release a modified version which carries forward this exception. |
Is there an SDPX Identifier for this? I'm using GPL-3.0-or-later-WITH-MCLINK
No, since custom exceptions/links are not supported by SPDX without also using a custom license, so it would be something like LicenseRef-GPL-3.0-or-later-WITH-Minecraft-linking-exception (for custom Modrinth licenses, you don't need to add LicenseRef, checking the "My license has no SPDX identifier" checkbox adds that for you automatically)
