I think it’s worth having the rules say “source available” or just “the source code must be published on GitHub” if that’s what you mean, because “open source” does imply an actual open source license to many programmers. Especially since right now the rules emphasize being open source and being hosted on GitHub as two separate things

Same thing for the rules about assets - there’s a big difference between assets that are “free and open source” and assets that are simply free to view/use. For me personally the former implies that e.g. art assets have to be Creative Commons licensed (or similar).

well yeah the art assets do have to be creative commons lol that would be free


anyways i think it's just semantics i don't think it's that big of a deal

I think we understand the spirit of what acerola is going for here. it's pretty clear lol. the reason I made this thread was because i want to be able to sell the game later if I like my entry and sometimes "contests" (not most game jams), gain some kind of rights over entries submitted. so it'd be nice to have that specified that's all.

I was concerned when I read open source in the rules, I agree they should say source available instead, otherwise it's misleading.
