Hedge Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So im trying to figure out what license i should attach to my soon to be released game engine. Problem is, its confusing as hell. I've read everything i can find, but i'm just not sure what i should be going with to cover myself in the best way. Hopefully some of you have some experience or knowledge with licenses and can point me in the right direction. What the license to include/cover- Game engine. I want to release it for free, but retain the full rights to it. I would like to allow - use of engine for private/commercial use | modifying the engine for your own use | I would like to disallow - selling the engine, whether original or modified (if a complete game is sold, then they would sell the template/domain/plugins etc but the engine would be free). Is there a license that covers this? can/should i write my own? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniko Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Choosing a license doesn't need to be scary Have a read of: http://choosealicense.com/ :D Though, my personal favourite: http://www.dbad-license.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veramys Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 If I ever get into the selling of code that I have developed I'm definitely using the dbad license lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
