Question.... #1

Hello, my name is Daniel Vidmar. I recently started a project of a 2d mmo engine. I was wondering if I could use tiled-java for it. However, I want to remain closed source so I came here to see if you would ever so kindly give me permission to use the map editor closed source. Not your C++ one just the java one that is all.

               Thank You,
                       Daniel Vidmar

Sorry but Tiled Java was developed as GPL so generally it can't serve as a base for a closed source 2d mmo engine.

What might work for you is libtiled-java from the Tiled repository, which is licensed LGPL. So as long as you use it as a library (and releasing any source code changes you make to this library), it will be fine. In this case you will not be required to release the complete source of your 2d mmo engine.
