Hello! This is super exciting!!! I couldn't find anywhere a mention about the license. I'd love if you gave it a permissive open-source license like MIT, or even GPL. You can still sell it btw!! It would just mean that the engine ships with its code.

Looking forward to playing around with the engine and following the progress! <3

I don’t have positive experience with open-source and don’t plan on releasing Whimsy as a FOSS for the foreseeable future. Making it open-source still allows to sell Whimsy, yes, but definitely doesn’t make it easier. Maybe in a perfect world it would be FOSS from the start, but alas—and I hope you’ll understand that.

Oh that's a shame! I'm sorry you had a bad experience with FOSS.

I'd like to understand what the pain points were, if you're keen to share. All I mean is that you include the source code on the release file and indicate its license. There'd be no need to manage a community or get people contributing to the code.

For now, I have to decline this request.
