Permission to port your game to another console
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2017 4:34 pm
Hello all
I would like to ask the games developers on the Gamebuino community an open question about how you feel about ports of your open-source games to another open-source console.
The reason for my question is this:
I have been approached by several people with regards to my upcoming game console Pokitto.
My original plan was to just port all the open-source games (they're open source right?) as monochrome to run on the Pokitto.
But: the people I have been talking to are game makers of these communities, have told me in no uncertain words that I should politely ask how the community feels about this. This question is because they feel that I should bring it up. I will also do the same on Arduboy forums.
So: if you suddenly see your open-source game appearing on an another console with FULL CREDITS and SOURCE on a new platform, will you be annoyed or pleased? EDIT: let me rephrase that. How would you like us to handle this question in a way that will make you happy?
