you can´t use the GPL for something like that. the gamestudio engine would have to be open source too. better look for a different license.



Why do you think that the gamestudio engine has to be open source, too?

The projects has been released in different versions:

  • RUDI v0.1 - freeware (the game is compiled as exe and the sources are protected - you can do whatever you like with it.. e.g. distribution)
  • RUDI v0.1 source code - ONLY the source code of the game is released under the GPL license. Nothing of the source code package is part of Gamestudio A7. You are able to run the game (with little modifications) even with the gamestudio demo oder the free Lite-C version. The fact, that you require a gamestudio version to run it doesn't necessarily implicate that Gamestudio is bundled with the source package. Since the game is written in Lite-C - which is similar to ANSI C - you can even go and port the game to Irrlicht or OGRE if you like.
  • RUDI workshop 0.1 - released "for free", but with a limited license which is to be found in the same document.
  • RUDI v0.11 - compiled contest version


Proof me wrong. I checked all available license models out there before I made a decision.

Really.. only the GAME code is open source. Not the game and the engine
