Even if the games are played off the internal hard drive with updates, there's a bit of "legal grey area" where enthusiastic fans of the game rebuild the code, and run the game wit…

Isn't this what happened with ElasticSearch and AWS OpenSearch? I imagine that OSS developers will not appreciate this at scale, especially if the core developers are not reaping s…

Mineclonia is the 'game' that loads into Luanti (formerly Minetest). Luanti has a c++ core engine, but definition of the worlds, rules, games, interactions is all lua
