I've stated this previously on IRC, but let me repeat what my stance on this issue is: I'd like Wesnoth to be easily available to as many users as possible, and I'm willing to overlook the license violation as long as it's distributed with a clearly displayed notice informing where to get (1) sources and (2) licence-conformant free build. With these in mind, I'm not against distributing Wesnoth in any kind of App Store, *but* uncapped 10% of income for being The First To Upload Wesnoth To App Store seems unreasonable. 100$ account fee could be easily covered by Wesnoth project itself. I'm sure there are people who would happily donate bandwidth for the uploads as well. As such I see very little added value in this proposal (from the project's perspective), unlike the case of the iOS port. -- Regards, Karol Nowak _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
