- cllns 14y agoSee: CentOS
- tinco 14y agoNothing. As it says on the website you could even slap your own logo on it and resell the software under your own brand.
- rogerbinns 14y agoNothing and the author is pretty clear about that. However the games seem to be free so getting the source would mean the author gets paid something. It also isn't clear if the game assets (art, sound etc) are covered by GPL/BSD or a different license.
- paulsutter 14y agoAll open source software is half off this weekend. And every weekend. Odd numbered Tuesdays its always double price. A friend once got open source software for 99% off, although I've had to pay triple. But not a penny more.
- bdcravens 14y agoMost (all?) open source licenses place no limitation using the license and selling the source code.
