First of all, this project is pretty amazing--big kudos. I hope I just overlooked this, but I found no mention of a license that this code is released under, which makes me hesitant about using it. MIT, BSD, Apache, if you want to be permissive or something less open I guess...

Yeah I should include one of those just haven't got around to figuring them out and choosing one. 

I'm happy with open source licences, but don't really want to see someone else just stick PowerQuest up on the asset store as their own, since I might want to do that myself sometime.

But seems like most open source licences require you to leave the licence in-tact, which would stop someone else doing that anyway, since the asset store has its own licence.

But yeah, in short, my intention is that you can make games with it including open source games with out having to worry.

Happy to hear those intentions! I think open-source and closed-source games for either fun or profit would all be potential targets and AFAIK all the example licenses I gave do allow closed-source for profit usages... unlike GPL for example.

I totally get your reluctance regarding loss of attribution or copycats. Looking forward to your solution of this puzzle ;) I think a total ripoff and post to Unity's asset store would violate the "license and copyright notice" requirement of the licenses I mentioned.

Here is a list to contrast and compare licenses maintained by Github https://choosealicense.com/appendix/

Thanks, that's super helpful!

Alright, I've gone with the MIT license,  nice and simple :)

I'll include the LICENCE.txt in my next update, and I've added a page about it to the documentation: http://www.powerhoof.com/public/powerquestdocs/license.html

I was going to suggest the MIT license.  It's the least pervasive of them all, and less of a general headache for you.

Well done 馃憤
