Re: [Trisquel-users] What do you think of

Well, you've got the idea, but remember that artwork and other game data  
(e.g. levels) is copyrighted, not trademarked. Ideally, the game engine would  
be free (and probably available gratis, too, since there's little point in  
charging for it), and the game data would be contained in separate files  
which are nonfree and sold (quite possibly bundled with the free engine, for  
convenience).

I'm involved in the development of a free replacement for Game Maker called  
Stellar, and one thing I'm hoping for is to make this type of distribution  
method easy with it. One barrier is it's incredibly easy to hardcode things  
into the game, in which case separating the engine from the data can be  
difficult.
