From my reading of their terms, it looks like any work created with Defold has to be distributed with the Defold license, which is not an OSI-approved license. So it looks like a no-go for the game jam, and I'll have a look at using Fennel with Love instead.

Spring Lisp Game Jam 2025 community · Created a new topic Using Fennel with Defold - licensing issues?
Hi everyone, very exciting to be joining the jam this year.
I've god a nice workflow going with Fennel and the Defold engine, which is "source available", with an Apache-derived license, but isn't technically open source. Would it be within the rules to use it?
More details on their license here: https://defold.com/license/
