Say I wanted to make a game, but I required the use of a library (or multiple libraries) under the GNU GPL.
Does this mean my game cannot be commercial? Does my game have to be open source?
Can someone please explain the GNU GPL in a nutshell and what I need to worry about?
EDIT:
Looking at the FAQ on gnu.org:
Quote:Can I release a modified version of a GPL-covered program in binary form only?
No. The whole point of the GPL is that all modified versions must be free software—which means, in particular, that the source code of the modified version is available to the users.
By the looks of it, I only have to distribute the source if I modified the original source?
From what I understand, as long as I don't modify the original source, I'm free to sell my game and keep it closed source?
Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but I would like to get this cleared up.
