RFC: Moving the Godot Card Game Framework to an MIT License - eviltoast

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of moving this framework to an MIT license. With my other work on my FOSS, I haven't had much time to maintain it anymore and move it to Godot 4 and sadly I don't see a l...

I’ve started the CGF some years ago to learn Godot and to provide something to the community. I even made a few FOSS games with it.

Sadly my work with my other FOSS projects and the fediverse doesn’t give me enough time to keep it up to date and to migrate it to Godot 4 and since the engine is picking up a ton of speed, I think it’s a shame people have to keep rediscovering the card game wheel.

I know a lot of people avoid it due to the AGPL3 license, so I am thinking of switching to an MIT license instead in the hopes that others will help carry the torch until I find time to circle back to it. There’s always pitfalls with MIT of course, such as some company trying to enclose it and sell it as a service, but perhaps peer pressure would be enough of a deterrent at this time.

Anyway. Just opening this up for discussion.

    For games where the code _is_ the difficult part (Dwarf Fortress, etc), its probably so complicated that having the code helps nothing, unless you want an exact copy (at which point, just pirate the game).

    The number of applications or games where having access to the code helps even somewhat to do anything is vanishingly small.
