NGUI at an open source / non-profit GameJam
« on: June 12, 2014, 02:25:02 AM »
@ArenMook/Tasharen in general, what's your legal stance here?

Events like Global Game Jam and Ludum Dare pretty much require everything to be opened up.  Do you have a stance on use NGUI being published in those projects?  I've just used alternatives in the past, but I figured I'd ask this time around :)

Thanks.

NGUI comes with source code but it's not an open-source product, so if you plan on sharing the source code with the internet at any point you'd be violating the copyright. If you'll only be sharing the final compiled executable (and only the judges will see the code), then you're fine.

Yep, what I figured heh, thanks :)

I'll use something else for an upcoming jam if they want source.
