Can i use this plugin to make a custom plugin?
This plugin has a standard license. Legally, you can modify my plugin to use in your own projects, but you cannot sell modified versions of the plugin.
If you would like to collaborate to improve the tool for free, we can explore a way to do that.
Of course, you can use my plugin as inspiration to create your own, but it wouldn't be good practice to copy the code, in whole or in part, so the answer would be no. Thank you for your interest, feel free to ask anything!
if I made a custom version based on yours and kept it permanently free (same idea as your free release), would it be okay for me to upload it to itch.io?
To explain: I built my version on top of your plugin, but it includes a lot of changes, both modifications to the core of your plugin and new additions/features I created.
I want to make a special section on my page for “custom add-ons I use in my games”, and up to now they’ve all been made by me. This one is a modification of yours, so I wanted to ask first if uploading it would be allowed.
If you’d like, I can send you the file so you can review all the changes I made. I can also send you a detailed list of the modifications in case you want to implement any of them, or even adapt them to your own style.
That's great, bro! As long as you keep the version free, I personally don't see any problems. I think the community benefits, and this could set a precedent for other developers to collaborate.
I would appreciate it if you could mention my original plugin.
This plugin will still be updated, so I suggest using this version as a base for your work.
