OHRRPGCE Licensing
Starting with the ichorescent stable release, the OHRRPGCE will be changing license to Dual GPLv2 & MIT License. This was done with the unanimous consent of all OHRRPGCE developers. Contributors/Relicensing
This change facilitates special-case porting to closed platforms like consoles, while also publicly demonstrating our respect for the copyleft principles of the GPL. We intend to continue sharing the source code in the same spirit we always have.
The GNU GPL (General Public License) is a "copyleft" license. The OHRRPGCE's source code is released under this license, either version 2, or (at your option) any later version, or optionally the MIT license.
Basically it means that not only can you freely use and redistribute the source, you are also allowed to make changes to it, as long as you promise to make your changes available to everyone else with all the same freedoms that have been promised to you. (In other words, any derived works must also be released under the terms of the GPL.)
If you need to create a port onto a platform where GPL licensing is not possible, you can create your fork under the MIT license. We still greatly appreciate any contributions you can make back to the dual license upstream.
If you wish to make a GPL-only fork, you are free to do that also. We still greatly appreciate any contributions back to the dual licensed upstream.
The games you make with the OHRRPGCE do not have to be under either the GPL license or the MIT license. You can distribute your games any way you like, including selling them. If you include a copy of the Game player with your game (as you should!), you should be sure to also include a copy of LICENSE-binary.txt.
