Sucks that a multi-billion dollar franchise looks like it is walking all over you, are they contributing anything back?

- WilliamEdward 7y agoIt's under the MIT license. Sure giving something back would be a nice gesture but there's no reason to say they are 'walking over' them.
- jcl 7y agoFunnily enough, it looks like noa is built on the Babylon.js engine, which was the side project of some Microsoft employees, released under the Apache license, written in TypeScript. So it seems that open source software has stimulated some mutual benefit to all involved -- and rather more directly than usual.
- fenomas 7y agoYes, Babylon does the 3D rendering while noa does meshing, physics, entities and such. Curiously, the Babylon people also didn't hear about the minecraft game until after it launched, even though their engine is being used and they're all under the Microsoft umbrella.
