Financial benefits - SA-MP server - Mojzesz - 14.07.2011
Hi there.
There is some polish RP server, very popular and advanced. But some time ago, its owner started earning money on it. For first, there were just regular premium accounts. Later, range of paid services grown - now you must pay for almost everything, including register.
So, just curious... is it legal? I thought that gathering financial benefits from running a SA-MP server is banned in samp-license.

SA-MP is free software, so by making people pay to register,i believe that violates the terms.

Well, they probably haven't been discovered until now...
They are going to have alot to answer for IF it's something illegal
(I wouldn't want to be in thier shoes if that's the case though)

Right, but this server with so big database (856997 posts, 24530 users on board, much more ingame content [characters, vehicles, buildings, etc.]), violating the terms of SA-MP license for a long time, is still working... I just can't believe that SA-MP team doesn't know about its existence and so big owner's income.

How they should know it if noone is reporting them?
Re: Financial benefits - SA-MP server - Infinity - 14.07.2011
SA-MP's Service Agreement does not state whether a server owner may ask money for his server/services.
Thus, if he wants to, he may do it. He isn't whining, his players haven't been whining for as far as I know.
SO, why are you whining?
