SFML website / Re: License doesn't allow translating tutorials to other languages

He could still adapt the documents and submit them back to the SFML team for inclusion on the site, then link to them...

Since when does the site host 3rd party projects?

Not to mention; flawed translations saying something the original never did.

Maybe SFML should've been closed-source to prevent flawed forks...

Let's be reasonable here.

This protects us from any nasty surprises, vandalism, defacement, spoofing, etc.

Uh, no, it doesn't, unless you can find the people and win a lawsuit, which would still take months.


Also: thousands of people copying code from tutorials breaking the license.

SFML website / License doesn't allow translating tutorials to other languages

https://github.com/SFML/SFML-Website/blob/master/LICENSE

This means that translating the SFML tutorials to other languages (programming or just languages) and publishing it is not allowed. I think the particular clause that I quoted should be dropped from the license. Attribution is required anyway, that's good, and I don't see how can there be problems from someone reusing parts of the SFML website.

I compared header files of SFML 2.1 and 2.2 to see a list of API changes between them.
It is quite readable.
