just came across a commercial HTML5 "Clicker" game which was open sourced (MIT license) with the assets also freeware for non commercial use (CC BY-NC-sa) Pocket island (playable here http://wooga.github.com/Pocket-Island/) code https://github.com/wooga/Pocket-Island assets...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_(video_game) has its source code on github, linux port seems available : https://github.com/AlwaysGeeky/Vox content is on Steam, maybe demo data from earlier releases works too: http://www.indiedb.com/games/vox/downloads/vox-v028 (or the earliest Ludum dare...

Samuel Villareal released the source code of his reverse engineered Powerslave enigne it seems begin of 2017. https://github.com/svkaiser/PowerslaveEX Wasn't available to public up to now to my knowledge. (PC version demos/shareware as data source is available...

As small reminder, SAIS (and many other games) are reported as being available for porting here at this WP list for quite some time. :) List is continuously updated by me (also recently!) and I would appreciate it if you drop there information too if you found some other commercial game with...

damn.... first I thougth this is some nice try on calming the heated crowd in this thread with some mesmerizing image / screensaver .... but then I noticed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloFish "GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent fish." :(

Well, if we follow common law interpretation schematics themselves are not copyrightable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behringer#Legal_cases ) and the Pyra team has no exclusive right anymore on selling the schematics due to missing copyright protection. They have the exclusive right on selling...

DFSG is NOT based on RMS' Free Software definition but was independently developed. https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1129863&cid=26875815 RMS like to claim everything in FOSS as his achievments which is unsubstantiated in many cases.

Thank you for the indetail reply... I think I have an idea now, but I'm still not totally clear about it. Sorry for being so persistent on this, but I should understand this as I work in a neighbouring field, even with electrical engineers doing similar things: is this about that the impedance...

Maybe, because it's a quite hard task to tackle for the 1% for the 99%? ;) Common, everyone join and contributes now! We could be 99 times faster finished! This is not my perception but legal reality. Copyright / patent law gives exclusive rights, including commercialization, to authors...

not necessarily, you might loss your soul ;P

? Interesting. Can someone give more information here?

They don't "want", they have already by the current copyright. Licensing is about giving up somewhat of their complete and exclusive control. Copyright was invented to protect creative authors from instant theft while their investment has not yet paid out. A situation which applies here.... On...

ahh... Now I see your point. Yes, licensing is fixable (as long as there is someone who can and cares) by re-releasing under a better license. :) But here lies some kind of risk: developers might be tempted to shift the final release in the future again and again... until it is to late for...

Yes, which is another form of saying "once released under a license it stays so forever", or do I miss something? Yes, and we can release again under different license terms, but this doesn't reduce the infinity of the original release.

The sad truth is this stuff is ridiculous import, not only for developers but also or even more for the end-users. It should not (e.g. by fixing our broken IP/copyright system).... but as matter of fact, it is. If we don't care, corporations and other big entities will care (see this John Deere...

Well, WTPFL or CC0 are from my understanding for the common use cases (?) functional identical to "real PD" .... WP calls them PD equivalent licenses. Good enough for me

In Germany you can give up the ownership rights, while being forced to keep the responsibilities... so it kind of works. And it is well enough emulated with the CC0 licnese. which works everywhere, analyzed for Germany law.

Well, copyleft/share-alike was made with this idea in mind. "I give you my stuff but require you to give back". CC BY-SA, GPLv2/3 etc On the other hand, if you define rip off as : "I give you my stuff, do what you want, but don't step into my commerical business" than indeed CC BY-SA-NC is the...
