#12Quite cool, although the license is quite strict: https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/blob/master/LICENSE....
No kidding. I sincerely doubt this actually qualifies as Open Source. It certainly can’t be distributed by, e.g., Debian.

It looks similar to e.g. Quake 3's license, source is open but assets aren't.

Prohibiting commercial use would make it non-open. But it's not that surprising given that VVVVVV is still sold today. I'd rather have the source with limits over not having the source at all.

#17This is a great game, by the way. If you haven't played it, you should.
Yes it is very enjoyable.

#18It says a lot about vvvvv that, I don't like this TYPE of game, lots of jump puzzles. But I like this game! It is just really well done.

#19I remember getting this game from the first humble bundle and enjoying it, it had very simple gameplay, little to no time to get into and very enjoyable. Going to play it again!

Not much more strict than CC-BY-NC, unless I’m missing something? The “you may not represent your fork as my product” is a good abuse prevention that I’m not sure the equivalent CC contains, good call including that.
