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.

    I love the GPL and AGPL, but for all intents and purposes, MIT makes more sense for a game development setting. You don’t want people to realize too pate that your plugin is GPL so they now have to rup it out and make their own, so they don’t have to open source their project…

      @Smorty @db0 if my plugin was the tipping point that made someone open source their game I would be rather happy. If they had to remove it to avoid following its license: look before you leap??
