Commercial usage

amerkoleci opened this issue 10 years ago · 5 comments

Hi,
I would like to use Atf as game editor as I've had already written most of the game engine part (https://www.google.it/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=alimer%20engine), I know that the license is Apache V2, can I modify the source code without releasing it? Probably there will be some proprietary modification and I would use the Wpf UI but probably with new editors and custom theme (metro style).

Thanks,
Amer

Hello, Amer,

I hope that LevelEditor is useful for you!

Yes, you can use and modify the source code without releasing it. The Apache 2.0 license is very liberal.

Edit: I shouldn't try to summarize the license in a single sentence. This site gives a good comparison of various licenses, including Apache 2.0:

That would be great! We'd love to see screenshots of your level editor with your custom engine running in it. When you have something to share, please contact us at atf_info at playstation dot sony dot com, and perhaps we can post your screenshots on one of our wiki pages?
