rjhwinner03 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 What can I change in the 0 A.D. game when I sell it? Can I completely redo the main menu screen and put my name on it, or do I have to keep the Wildfire games logo on there? Can I change the window name and logo? What can and can't I do? If I can change the wildfire games logo on the main menu, I will still mention that I was helped by Wildfire Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grugnas Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I guess that you posted on the wrong subforum again. Anyway, standing at the first lanes of the link that a user already posted on another thread: Quote 0 A.D. is released as open source: you can freely use, copy, modify and distribute the game's source code and data files, as long as you include attribution to Wildfire Games and let anyone freely modify and distribute any of your own modifications to the game's files. this means that you can modify the game as you fish as long as you say that Wildfire Games made the game and that your version is a fork of their game. ( basically it is like releasing a p2p mod ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Correct me if im wrong. It means you can use the code of 0AD for anything that you would like to do. But you have to license your work under the same license. (Give others the same freedom you got in 0Ad). And you have to provide credit to WFG.

rjhwinner03 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wait, I can change the Company name on the main menu, but I still have to mention that this is a fork of 0 A.D. in the credits? If that is the case, then that is what I am going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 You have to give proper attribution but you also have to make your source code available to everyone. Gpl licence is viral which means it extends to every line of code you write. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhwinner03 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 So can I charge the people for the source code? Long time no see btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 No you can't sell the source code, but you can sell the binaries as long as you provide a link to the source code you used to make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhwinner03 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 The binaries being the EXE file and all the other things needed to actually run the code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
