Raw Blame History

Attribution, licensing, and asset provenance

This is the authoritative project record for ownership, credits, license boundaries, third-party notices, asset provenance, and redistribution checks. A Git commit proves when bytes entered the repository; it does not by itself prove authorship or licensing.

Ownership and credits

NETfishing is jointly owned, developed, and published by its creators, publicly credited as Voyager and Endeavour and operating collectively as the independent team Woofmeow.

  • Voyager: co-owner, developer, project director, creator of the game's 3D art, and composer of the original title/ambient track audio/music/title/as_in_four_wolves.ogg, world track audio/music/world/craft.mp3, and animalese placeholder tones.
  • Endeavour: co-owner, developer, and creator of the game's 2D art, including the original fish, environment, UI, and other artwork.
  • chillnfill: contributor of original 3D models for the character bodies and arms, ears and tails, and multiple world props and decorative assets, including trees and bridges. The contributor requested to be credited as chillnfill.
  • Tekgator: creator of the cooler-capacity, reel-speed, and barrier-power shop icons.

Voyager is also the original catalog porter credit in PortMaster metadata. Third-party creators are credited with their individual records below. Those credits do not imply endorsement of NETfishing, Woofmeow, or its owners.

License map

Do not describe the complete repository as covered only by the GPL.

Material Governing terms
Project-owned software code, shaders, code-oriented scene/resource configuration, tests, build tooling, and server software GPL-3.0-or-later; source-root LICENSE and packaged GPL-3.0-or-later.txt
Project-owned artwork, textures, models, animation, music, audio, narrative content, characters, and other creative assets Source-root or packaged ASSET-LICENSE.md
NETfishing and Woofmeow names, logos, icons, and official identity Source-root or packaged TRADEMARKS.md
Third-party engines, fonts, sounds, and other external material Their original terms, recorded below and in adjacent license texts where applicable
New outside contributions Source-root CONTRIBUTOR-TERMS.md plus any separately signed agreement

Generated Godot import metadata and deterministic generated resources follow the terms of their source material or generating code. Repository location alone does not relicense third-party material.

The GPL permits study, modification, redistribution, and forks of covered code. It does not grant rights to NETfishing creative assets or branding. The NETfishing Asset License separately permits qualifying noncommercial add-on Mods for official NETfishing software; it does not permit those assets to accompany code forks, clones, standalone games, unrelated products, or general-purpose asset packs. A GPL fork must replace NETfishing assets and reserved branding with independently licensed material and a distinct identity.

Project-wide code, asset, branding, or contributor-license changes require written approval from both NETfishing owners under their private joint ownership agreement.

chillnfill 3D model contribution record

  • Requested credit: chillnfill.
  • Original contribution families: character bodies and arms; character ears and tails; and multiple world props and decorative assets, including trees and bridges.
  • Repository mapping: character contributions are incorporated into the character source/export families identified above. Prop contributions may be incorporated into combined environment source and export files rather than retained as one file per originally supplied model.
  • Permission record: because these historical contributions predate the current CONTRIBUTOR-TERMS.md, retain the original permission record or a later written confirmation covering Project use, modification, distribution, commercial release, and applicable sublicensing.

Generated resources

Godot .import sidecars and deterministic shoreline .tres meshes are derived repository resources, not original artwork. .godot/imported/, editor caches, captures, exports, and temporary test data are not tracked.

Release gate

Before a public binary or source release:

  1. Search exported resources for external filesystem paths.
  2. Include or make readily accessible the complete GPL text and identify the exact corresponding source tag or commit.
  3. Include ASSET-LICENSE.md, TRADEMARKS.md, this attribution/provenance record, both font notices, and every applicable third-party license.
  4. Retain the complete Godot Engine MIT notice above.
  5. Preserve third-party terms without adding incompatible restrictions.
  6. Avoid referring to a dirty or unavailable source revision.
  7. Publish or offer equivalent access to exact corresponding GPL source for every distributed binary release.

Desktop and PortMaster build scripts stage these authoritative files as sidecars. Godot export presets include them in exported resource packs for platforms where sidecar documents are not normally visible. Store and release pages should link to the exact source revision and public notices.
