Hello,
I was curious how open-source Illarion is. Is it strictly open-source for the development of the Illarion project, or can it be used for other projects?
Cheers,
Michael

Hello,
Hypothetically speaking, a third party could use the source of Illarion as the basis of another game? If so, would the developers appreciate such a thing?

Hey Michael,
we strongly encourage you to use the code for your own project. However, you need to follow GPLv3/AGPLv3. E.g. you need to share your work with us, by using GitHub for instance, not change the license, etc. Read the licenses for more information.
We would also welcome you to work with us on our project if you like, since starting something new will be a lot of work.

Re: Open Source
Vilarion,
I highly doubt I would open a server to the public any time soon. I imagine simply making the map would take me quite awhile.
My passion is writing, and lore. I've picked up on other things along the way. I've been writing lore for my D&D campaign setting for years (as needed, or just for fun). I really want to bring my campaign setting to life, graphically. Populating it with structures and npcs, my brother was wanting to mess around with graphics.
Thanks for the response.
Cheers,
Michael
