Remix This Game — a Free Software Experiment
An anonymous reader writes "REMIX THIS GAME is an experimental game design contest where participants can re-mix and re-cycle my free-software self-published PC game, XONG. XONG is available under permissive licenses allowing remixes and derivative works of the code, graphics, sound effects, and music—even for commercial use. The source code license is the GNU GPL Version 3, and the media is covered by the Creative Commons BY-SA license. No special software or programming experience are needed—XONG has been packaged up so that you can just download the game and edit the graphics/code/music/sounds in place, and re-start the game to see your changes. Plus, it is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux, so you can remix it on whichever OS you use, using whatever programs you like."
I was turned off when I saw it was CC BY-SA and GPLv3'd.
Wait - doesn't that imply that you were, conversely, turned *on* when you thought it was BSD? Methinks you need some higher quality fapping material...
No, because I hate being told that if I make a modification to the code, I have to not only contribute it back, but maintain the updates and the original code for x amount of years. Forget that. I'll maintain it (and provide access myself) for as long as I wish.
