Depends on your license, you can be open source but have a license prohibiting assets usage or even whole code usage. It can be a good way to support mods. See Barotrauma [0][1] as an example of an open source game that suceeded. Exerpt from their license : > The source code, modifications or derivative works can be distributed only if they are intended to be used as a mod for Barotrauma. You are not allowed to create a standalone application, or use the code for commercial purposes or in your own projects.
