## SuperWoW and SuperAPI: upstream-only distribution
|
||||
## SuperWoW and SuperAPI
|
||||
|
||||
SuperWoW's current upstream license states that distribution is prohibited
|
||||
without the copyright holder's express written permission.
|
||||
SuperWoW's upstream license requires the copyright holder's express permission
|
||||
for redistribution. The Modernization Tool maintainer reported receiving that
|
||||
redistribution permission from the upstream author on 2026-09-03.
|
||||
|
||||
Because no written redistribution authorization is documented in this
|
||||
repository, Modernization Tool no longer bundles `SuperWoWhook.dll` as an
|
||||
offline fallback. The tool already downloads SuperWoW directly from the
|
||||
official upstream release when the user enables it.
|
||||
Modernization Tool therefore keeps a known-good SuperWoW + SuperAPI fallback
|
||||
while continuing to prefer the official upstream sources whenever they are
|
||||
available.
|
||||
|
||||
- SuperWoW source: https://github.com/balakethelock/SuperWoW
|
||||
- License copy: `LICENSES/SuperWoW-LICENSE.txt`
|
||||
- Distribution mode: downloaded from upstream at install time; not bundled
|
||||
|
||||
SuperAPI is likewise downloaded directly from its upstream repository as part
|
||||
of the SuperWoW installation path and is no longer kept as a bundled fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
- Online mode: latest stable upstream release
|
||||
- Bundled fallback: `Payload/SuperWoWhook.dll`
|
||||
- SuperAPI source: https://github.com/balakethelock/SuperAPI
|
||||
- Distribution mode: downloaded from upstream at install time; not bundled
|
||||
- Online mode: current upstream `master` revision resolved to an exact commit
|
||||
- Bundled fallback: `Payload/Interface/Addons/SuperAPI/`
|
||||
|
||||
If the upstream download is unavailable, an already complete installed
|
||||
SuperWoW/SuperAPI setup may be kept by the tool, but a new offline installation
|
||||
cannot use a bundled SuperWoW fallback.
|
||||
The exact bundled revision and binary hash are recorded in
|
||||
`Payload/Fallback/versions.json` and `Docs/BINARY_PROVENANCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the online update is unavailable, a complete valid existing installation is
|
||||
kept first. If repair or first-time installation is still required, the bundled
|
||||
known-good SuperWoW + SuperAPI pair can be installed atomically instead.
