Closing the Open Source Part 2

Name: Anonymous 2015-03-15 21:31

An once open source crowd funded game became non-free:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/monster-rpg-2-to-go-nonfree-after-succesfully-crowdfunding-to-become-open-source-updated.2624

assets and code were quickly removed from open access.

The game will still be, and will hopefully always remain open source
At least read your linkspam.

Should have used the GNU/RMS/GPL.
According to RIMMUS the GPL keeps your code free, therefore nobody can ever sell it.

It is no longer free-as-in-free-beer. If you want to download it from their server, you need to buy it.

But it is still free-as-in-freedom.

RMS has said that he has no problems with people selling free-as-in-freedom software.

Bullshit.
If he actually meant freedom he would have said libre.
When you tell people an inanimate object is free they think it's free as in beer!
Only a con-artist would say that and expect them to think libre.

You're free to download the source code and compile it, and also to then upload it onto your own server, or make a torrent.

Then where can you download the source?

The official site (https://nooskewl.ca/games/monster-rpg-2/) still has binary distros, but now they have non-free license (i.e. you can't reuse assets in BSD or GPL-licensed game)
