I'm not gunna try to talk you out of it, it's your code, and you should pick the license that suits your ambitions for the project.
However, I can see it putting off a lot of users that might be interested in working with it, who can't justify sinking weeks of time into a planned commercial game, with no real way of knowing if/when the license will change to be favorable enough to release the game. I'm not too knowledgable on the LGPL, but the Mozilla license would be something to look into. Regardless, the project looks good. - Dan On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Jason Proctor < [email protected]> wrote: > > IMHO, this purpose would be better served by adopting a more liberal > "library" type licence like LGPL or Mozilla. > > full GPL puts a lot of people off, for reasons already covered. > > > > >Thanks for the suggestions guys, really appreciate it.
