Provide license for demo games #6

Open greysondn opened 2 years ago

greysondn commented 2 years ago

I was a huge fan of EHB, and still fire it up from time to time. Right now, I'm playing around with the Farmtronics mod for Stardew Valley and wondered if you'd be okay with me porting some of these games as demos for the computer in that mod.

You have my blessing! Not sure what license I should put on the games, do you have an idea?

That may be somewhat complicated, as I'm not sure what license the secret-arcade comp's submissions was held under.

Generally speaking, if you want people to be able to use the code for open source and demo work, there are various licenses that work for that, and some of those do restrict commercialization. I'm not really an expert at that kind of stuff - I generally don't care about most of my own work as long as people admit I did work that wound up helping them XD

If open source licensing is a serious consideration here, the standard reference helper site for license selection appears to be choosealicense these days: https://choosealicense.com/
