"HW [...] chose GPLv3 for that purpose. The fact that we're still going today [...] is proof he made a good choice. If KOReader had been proprietary, it may have been unnecessarily abandoned -- a fate that is all too common for similar projects." Read more: https://u.fsf.org/3zi

"If you bought a game, if you made a game, if you love a game, technology shouldn't get in the way of that game's ongoing existence,” EFF’s @pluralistic told @IGN — tech should preserve games for those who love them and for posterity.

It's a universal system with magic that Just Works (really, no rolls and no spell slots), no saving throws (really, traps hit automatically), 6 hit points and a death wish..
