Licensing From: "Enno Rehling" <schick.mir.spam@gmx.de> Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 22:11:36 +0000 (Not so) hypothetical Question: Suppose we have a game that's already a huge success in the freeware market. Are there companies that will pay for a license to host it, what kind of legaleze (ownership, copyright, etc) does this usually incur, and, of course, how much money does it make for the programmer? Yeah, alright. I'm talking about Eressea. It's a success in the german PBeM community (1.300 players in the german-speaking market, running for 4.5 years, and almost finished the localization, so english, russian, german, or even multilingual games are just a matter of translating a simple resource file). After putting so much work into it over the years (70.000 LOC after several major revisions) we're naturally a little curious about the possibilities. Enno. Referenced By Up
