>>106773860He may be right, the GPL only applies to the source code and not to the game data.
>>106773860I don't think there is anything in the gpl to stop someone from taking your entire code, changing the name, and selling it as their own
>>106773860>I left my job for this gamethere is no glory in FOSS, you do it because the openness is needed somehow or if you absolutely don't give a fuck and write code for the sake of it, for a fucking game or really anything with artistic value then you have 0 reason to work in the open, copyleft or permissive, it does not matter.he fucked up real hard, should have made a proprietary clone.>>106774059there isn't as long as you keep the source code open, it's a basic case of "rule for thee but not for me", this does not only apply to billionairs or politicians, even the sewer-dwellers are victims of this facet of human nature.
