These are not my conditions, just general laws that I am informing you about. For example you cannot claim copyright for an unmodified version of the game, e.g. you **cannot** prevent others from using it in any way they want, e.g. you can sell this but you **cannot** stop others from also selling it or even redistributing it for free (notice how enforcing copyright is no longer a freedom to use one's own copy of information in any way, which is what I am giving you). Even if crediting me isn't required, you probably **cannot** claim the lie that you are the author of the unmodified version because that, again, is a false claim of copyright. Of course, you **can** add your own creations and modifictions to this work (e.g. levels, code, ...) and then claim copyright, but **only** to those specific parts you yourself created. -I don't enforce anything and don't even judge your actions, but I would still be happy if you voluntarily share with me some money that you make on this, if you credit me, if you share your derivative works as public domain or start promoting some of my philosophies. I believe these things are moral, but morals cannot and mustn't be forced. This is why I don't license this as copyleft. +I don't enforce anything -- of course I'm glad for credit, donations, kind emails that people sometimes send me etc., but I never want to enforce this, or even push anyone to this. Morals cannot and mustn't be forced, moral behavior can only be voluntary. This is why I don't license this as copyleft. -Am I so stupid as to trust complete strangers to not abuse this? No, I know people will "abuse" my work and I am predict some Chinese company will soon be distributing this somehow with a false claim copyright (in which case please don't believe them, there exists evidence of me creating this and releasing this first, with all rights waived). The good that will come from this will be greater than the bad. Perhaps this alone will make you think. +Am I so stupid as to trust complete strangers to not abuse this? No, I know people will "abuse" my work and I am predicting some Chinese company will soon be distributing this somehow with a false claim of copyright (in which case please don't believe them, there exists evidence of me creating this and releasing this first, with all rights waived). Negative effects of the shitty system we live in cannot be fixed by playing along with the system. Hopefully the good that will come from this will be greater than the bad. ### Can I fork this and just strip all the political stuff?
