If a video game was commercially available on digital platforms, but its source code was publicly available under a CC-NC license, assuming you were interested in the game and it was priced reasonably, which are you most likely to do? Boosts appreciated #gamedev #indiegame

@lyon is it even technically possible to publish the game commercially if your own license is CC-NC? Are you not infringing right from the start?
@chsxf @lyon Licensing something doesn't necessarily mean giving away your copyright (except public domain and similar). At the contrary, you state the rights and liabilities of the parties using your work. But regarding yourself, the copyright owner of the work, you do whatever you want with it.
@Skyper @lyon thanks for the clarification. That was my guess and it is completely logical.
