Who owns SuperTux? Can anyone just make a SuperTux game?

• Kaze404 7y ago
  Yes. The original SuperTux is a GPL project.

    SuperTux would be a trademark, whilst GPL is for copyright. So the question is still valid; it doesn't appear to be a registered trademark in EU nor USA, so you're probably safe. "Tux" is a registered trademark though, fwiw (that doesn't necessarily mean you can't use it).

      > SuperTux would be a trademark, whilst GPL is for copyright. In this case it would of course be both. The game never calls itself "SuperTux" and only asserts that it is a reimplementation of SuperTux. I have a hard time thinking that's infringing on the trademark to say so when it's true.
