Third-Party Licences & Marks
Effective date: 4 October 2026 · Version 1.1
We made Rebellion, but it stands on open components made by other people. This page lists those components, the licences they are distributed under, and the notices those licences require. For each component, its licence takes precedence over the End User Licence Agreement.
We write these documents in good faith and keep them accurate to how the game actually works. They have not yet been reviewed by qualified Estonian legal counsel.
1. What we made
The game and simulation code, the world and its history, the characters, texts and "scriptures", models, textures, animations, interface, the Rebellion logo and the balance were created by APERTURESyndicate OÜ and belong to it. Nothing on this page grants you rights in them beyond the End User Licence Agreement.
