Quoting: chrCan anyone correct me, but isn't Public Domain incompatible with imposing limitations on distribution?

Quoting: the DevilutionX readme at GithubDevilutionX is released to the Public Domain. The documentation and functionality provided by DevilutionX may only be utilized with assets provided by ownership of Diablo.

The source code in this repository is for non-commerical use only. If you use the source code you may not charge others for access to it or any derivative work thereof.
I would have thought, yeah.

Putting into Public Domain means you're waiving your intellectual rights, so anyone can use it however without restriction. "Non-commercial only" is akin to the Creative Commons non-commercial flavour of licensing.

If they wanted non-commercial only, they should update the license to be non-commercial, not freed to the Public Domain.

I'm not a lawyer or anything, so I'm only talking about what my experiences are.

Edit:

They use the "Unlicense License" which states:

distribute this software, either in source code form or as a compiled
binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any
means.

Hm, it looks pretty neat! I've put it on my wishlist to see how it does later. I am new to Oxygen Not Included and another ONI-style game would probably do me in entirely right now

Been playing a bit of Star Citizen (wine), Elite: Dangerous (proton), Dwarf Fortress (native), and Euro Truck Simulator 2.

However, those went all on pause when I started playing Baldur's Gate III (Proton) with my brother and some friends.

I got through the first boss and gave up on Valheim. I love the exploration and building, but am not keen on games that lock crafting/building behind defeating bosses. It's not a bad game, just not really for me, I think. :)

Quoting: kaimanThis look pretty neat. Though at that point, if I really had a need for something like that I'd probably go with ink.

Holy dang this also looks wonderful! Thanks for linking it. :D
