That is a valid point, JCL. There is the another problem and that is that the license is only for one application. You'd have to pay each time you make a commercial MP game. However...


Counterpoint 1: there have been only 1 or 2 commercial MP projects in the last 5 years AFAIK.
Counterpoint 2: anyone that is making a MP project AND wishes to go commercial should have at least $100 dollars they can earmark towards the license.


I agree that the licensing for Raknet makes it difficult for it to become a community wide, multiple product solution UNLESS Conitec and Raknet make a deal where they bundle the cost of Raknet with the Pro version. However, if you present the MP history of our community to Raknet, I think the case can be made that the entire community would only need a single indy license if you take my meaning. :P

In other words I see nothing wrong with having MP users pay $100 as a minimum to commericalize their game... everyone else can just play around with it for free!
