I might be missing something, but how did they manage to swing this? I thought proprietary NDAs around the Switch's API were the biggest holdups preventing Switch support from being added to Godot itself.
I would have assumed this would be free but would require signing some kind of source-available license that forced you to still respect the NDAs.
- wmf 3y agoIt's not vanilla MIT but some kind of MIT + NDA.
- danShumway 3y ago> MIT + NDA Okay, that's... not MIT then? I don't understand, you can't just call things MIT if they're not actually MIT and don't have the same license terms. Is the page just lying about what the license is? "I'm giving away a product for free, but it's the special kind of free where it's free and you have to give me 20 dollars to get it." This was annoying enough when Mongo released source available code and called it Open Source, but have we graduated to releasing full-on proprietary code that doesn't even hit common thresholds of source available licenses and we're just calling it Open Source anyway?
