As someone coming from the UE4 world, this looks like a great plugin! But it does feel like GPL isn't really compatible with releasing commercial games unless you also release the game itself's source code as open source, right? Is that your intention or am I perhaps misunderstanding how that works?

Ward727a commented 5 months ago

Hello! I will not gonna lie: I'm totally lost with all those license thing, I just seen lot of thing in GPL-3.0 license on git, so I set it like that. If that license poses a problem like what you said, I will change for a more appropriate one, maybe MIT License, but I'm totally open for suggestion for this.

To be clear: I don't want to force you to release your game source code, it's your work, and it's you to decide that :)

Wow! Speedy response :-)

Yeah, my understanding is that MIT license allows you to use the code in commercial products without issue, but the GPL's "Copy Left" clauses basically mean any product that includes GPL code has to also be released under GPL or equivalent. It's great for some situations, like when you are providing a service instead of a product but probably not the best thing for a game plugin.

Ok! Well, I will change the license for MIT for the next version, I don't want to add a new version "just" for this, but it will be done!

Thanks you for your advice! =)

Done in the latest commit, it will be edited on the Godot asset store once the new version is totally ready, need to do some testing here and there (The new version has the collection system implemented, so I want to re-check all the plugin feature before publishing it)

I will close this issue once the Godot Asset Store is edited! :)
