><i> I just want to make sure I understand this right... I use this source
</I>><i> code to build the base of my game...I do all sorts of work to make my
</I>><i> own game built around this core engine...I then try to get people to
</I>><i> play the game...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> #Sound easy, it is hard.
</I>><i> People get the game (for free, or at least, for the cost of shipping
</I>><i> it, but no profit can be made on that...)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> #Fucking HTML messages!!!
</I>><i> #Ok, with GPL you can sell it and make money but you CAN'T forbid the
</I>><i> buyer to sell, copy, or hire it.
</I>><i> I charge for the monthly service to the game, and make boat loads of
</I>><i> money...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> #And why people would pay for your service!?
</I>><i> #It isn't a easy thing But then, because of the way this license
</I>><i> reads, someone else can request the entire source code to my game, set
</I>><i> up their own game that's exactly like mine, and charge people to use
</I>><i> it just like I am doing... So if all of the above is correct... what
</I>><i> is the point of me making my game using NeL in the first place? When
</I>><i> someone can just steal my entire game (not just the NeL source, but
</I>><i> all of the "derivitive works" that are packaged with it as a whole),
</I>><i> and run the game service themselves... basically, taking me out of the
</I>><i> loop entirely.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> #Well, the code is GPL, but the GFX, SFX, History, and so aren't GPL
</I>><i> so you can't copy them. ( isn't this true? )
</I>><i> #Someone don't steal but derive the work, if this happens you have two
</I>><i> options:
</I>><i> #a) Forgive your project and join then
</I>><i> #b) Use their modifications ( that are GPL ) to make yours better. If
</I>><i> I'm completely off here, I appologise. I'm extremely new to the whole
</I>><i> "open source" thing...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> # Well, Open Source is like Fire for the Primitive mens. Someone scary
</I>><i> and others just get hot near it.
