- fs111 12y agoYes, and those users are free to publish that code in any way they desire.
- joncrocks 12y agoI think you also have to provide details of the licence/licensed components alongside your distributed software, so that users know they can actually request the source-code. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html - "And you must show them these terms so they know their rights"
- caw 12y agoMost games have all of this info in the credits, and if you get a manual anymore, in there.
