Re: [glob2-devel] An intriguing offer from a small group of developers

[Raoul Verveer]

I really don't see the problem here, as long as Globulation 2 will be
provided under the GPL license.
Seems like a win-win situation to me: Glob2 will attract more developers
and unknown entertainment will get the attention of all Glob2 players.
And probably people who are known with other projects of unknown
entertainment will find their way to Glob 2 easier as well...

As I understand from Jason's words the only thing we oughta do is to
acknowledge that unknown entertainment is helping us with the
devellopment. I don't believe our freedom is at stake here.

The only thing that really matters to me is the license... we can leave
them at any time we want; there are no commitments. We can make an
original game and have more players!

I believe we should negotiate and let them know what we expect and what not.


Have a nice day too ^^
