Pay For Frozen Bubble?

[Hooka]

Umm, is it just me or is FunGP selling a GPL'd and free game, or is there some arrangement I don't know about?

I'm no expert but didn't the GPL allow for commerical use as long as the source is available?
I think there's paid iPhone version of some open source games as well, eg. Battle for Wesnoth.

i think that version just has the same name as the GPL version but was created from scratch? but i can be wrong here...

 

[torpor]

Its perfectly okay for them to sell it. But, ask them for the source code. If you don't get it, then there is a problem.

 

[crow_riot]

the author also announced the game here ... and states This is not a port but a remake of PC game with new graphics and slightly changed gameplay.

so nothing to worry about

There is nothing wrong with selling gpl'ed software. Think of it as paying for the service of compiling and packaging
