Move to MIT (or similar) license

The gpl requires you to release the code of your game which is not the best for actually making games.

@logo4poop why is not the best?

No one wants to release their game on GPL. Go with MIT and you will attract both contributors and game developers.

@Batandwa-mgutsi Agreed @hamoid check on what he said

There's at least 1 person who prefers GPL, which makes it untrue that zero people want GPL :)

You are denying people from helping you grow your project. It won't hurt much going for MIT.

@hamoid I mean it.

Move to MIT will probably happen soon, but I don't know when exactly

It takes a long time to change license, it's a lot of very complicated work.

Perhaps he can move to MPL, it's closer to GPL but still allows for closed-source projects.

It doesn't take a long time, but it needs to be announced and the engine needs to be in a good working state when I announce it, which it isn't at the moment because I don't have time to work on it 😏 So MIT right now is useless because the thing is partly broken But it will happen eventually
