| Aug 21, 2012 at 9:24 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | "However I feel that open source has it's place, but that is not in the bushiness world." But you think just using someone's code and neither paying for the commercial license nor accepting the terms of the alternative one has its place in the business world? This is not so much business as theft. Not that this hasn't happenened in the business world often enough... — It seems like you really do want open source (understandably) from the programmer's point of view, but have a rather dogmatic aversion against it from the monetary point of view. Well, these views aren't compatible. | |

You have two options and two options only: play by the rules the owner of the code stipulates with his license(s) and/or fees, or go use something else. | |

| Aug 20, 2012 at 4:36 | comment | added | Random832 | Ask your lawyer, and for that matter ask the company who makes the engine, but as I understand it for game engines, the GPL may only apply to the code and any modifications you made to it, and not your other assets [such as maps, sounds, art, and so on]. Why isn't that acceptable to you? | |

| Aug 19, 2012 at 23:09 | comment | added | Mircea Chirea | @jskiles1, actually it was. Source was the development version of the GoldSrc engine; Valve basically branched their code for HL1 and continued improving their engine separately, so now it doesn't have much to do with Quake anymore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine#Origins | |

| Aug 19, 2012 at 13:47 | comment | added | Justin Skiles | You answered your own question with the quote you provided. Also, Source (HL2) was not based upon Quake. You're thinking of GoldSrc (HL1). | |
