Hello Riq,

I just run into your library on some other forum. Looks interesting.
However I couldn't find any information about licensing? Is it royalty-free like chipmunk?

Thanks.

According to cocos2d.h, it's LGPL.

And since Apple won't let you link to your own external libraries on the iPhone that means your whole app falls under the GPL. I really hope folks already using this code realize that...

Hey, please, don't spread FUD.

I've no problems regarding LGPL & closed sources games.

cheers,

It's nice that you feel that way, but you need to amend the actual license text for that to stick. I did a checkout and read the LICENSE file, not the FAQ, so I immediately dismissed your code as unusable for my purposes.

Honestly, if you want more people to adopt the code use a BSD or zlib style license and make it explicitly non-viral. The GPL crazies don't appreciate casual amendments to their philosophies...

I will. Thanks.
