Notch's recent post about mods.

...
This is what I am afraid of
  • We retain the right to use your mod idea and implement it ourselves in Minecraft. This is to prevent the situation where we have to avoid adding a feature just because there’s a mod out there that does something similar. It’s also great for dealing with bug fixes provided by the community.
  • You can’t sell your mods or make money off them unless you’ve got a separate license deal with us

So...how, in the future, will my server contain uniqueness and have the ability to pay for itself?
Notch left me a really big issue here...

    That stinks to here. Hopefully this doesn't discourage any modders from doing their thing.

    "The access cost won’t be prohibitively expensive, and if you make a good mod or something else based on the source code, it’s highly likely we will want to license it."

    Just create a good mod ^^

    Is it very difficult to set up separate license?

    i agree with those two points, makes sense for me and I understand why they did it.

    I don't understand, how were you planning on having your server pay for itself and what does that have to do with mods?
