Question about GPL assets
Monday, January 12, 2015 - 18:46
Hello everyone, I'm new here so nice to meet you all :)
I've been researching a bit about GPL for a while, but I haven't found a clear answer for this yet:
If I use a GPL licensed texture in my game, do I have to make my game GPL as well? Can I sell this game?
(Assuming that I do not make any changes to the texture, aside from resizing it)
I think it's a pretty safe bet that anyone who releases a work (art, code or other) under GPL intends for that work to used only in combination with other GPL works.
Even if you are able to wiggle your way around the intent of the licensing, to follow the creator's intent is the nice thing to do.
GPL doesn't not in anyway prohibit you from selling, but nor does it prohibit any other from doing likewise.
