Do we need a Libre/OpenSource Game-Store/Hub ?
(lemmy.world)
Do we need a standalone Libre/OpenSource Game-Store/Hub ??? (similar to Athenaeum)
where we simply aggregate all the FOSS games in one place along with their mods & links to their assets (Plus methods to fund those libre-gamedevs)
If only there was some mechanism to encourage developers to make games free at least after making some profit/payback. With such a mechanism, the store could develop financially. But personally, I haven't come up with anything like that yet.
Yes, I hadn't thought about such motivation. In this case, maybe it is possible to at least release only the code under an open/free license.
Maybe a new type of FOSS licence ? Or just plain-ol guilt-tripping
Wasn't that the intention of having copyright last only 13-15 years? That the works would enter the public domain, free for all to play with? Just because it is a digital good doesn't mean this shouldn't apply.
Unfortunately our government has been purchased by the 1% with the surplus labor value stolen from us. We are getting taxed without representation.
