I must have bought it right when it went proprietary, I think I was introduced to it via HN but I dont remember any mention of it formerly being libre. I only bought it because I thought my kid would enjoy playing with it, I chose it because it was on sale, DRM free and I couldn't find a decent libre editor. Guess I didn't search hard enough. My kid hasn't opened it since :/
- abritinthebay 8y agoIt was never "free" as such - you were always supposed to pay for it - but it was possible to build it yourself. You did the right thing.
- jasonkostempski 8y agoYou're comment made me look into it. So it's still open source, just not GPL? Looks like I simply fell for a sales tactic targeting compulsion and naivety. They got my money, good for them. Anything associated with their name is an immediate pass for me from here out. No one did the right thing here.
- abritinthebay 8y agoIt’s open source but not free software. I’m honestly ok with that because I think making a living is important & the Linux distros are really bad at supporting authors of software. Fixable problem but appears to lack the will.
