gollark: Well, actually I think most are under OSS licenses and do, but not all.
gollark: Generally they don't allow redistribution of jars and stuff.
gollark: Just zipping up the mod folder makes updates hard and might cause legal issues.
gollark: Anyway, I'm not sure about easy or hard, but one thing I would like is a way to incenticize spreading out and having players specialize in some things/encouraging trading.
gollark: That'd probably never support the kind of mods we have which often poke deep into game internals.
