In Syntensity (an open source platform for 3D games, http://www.syntensity.com, and #syntensity on FreeNode) we are thinking about having forums of some sort. One option that was mentioned is the possibility of having one here, on the FreeGameDev forums. Is that an option? If so, what are the requirements of projects for that?
Some things that might be relevant:
- Our code is 100% open source. However, we are a game-building project, and we don't force people to only make open source games. They can make non-free ones as well (but we encourage free stuff). We are kind of like Blender in that respect (the tool is FOSS, creations might not be).
- All the content that comes with the engine itself is Free. However, again, people can create content and we don't force them to make it Free as well (they keep copyright, and give people a license to use their content in Syntensity, and can of course offer their content under additional licenses, including Free ones).
