@JonPM What’s you mean with “timestamp”?

Man, I am in Madrid, Spain : )

In the past I try to do a remake of a cool lemming game called “Pingus” and in that occasion I did contact the author, Ingo Ruhnke, that was very explicit about the term of his game was under GPL3 or something like that, that means that you can use his code only to lunch another GPL3 free and open source variation of the code, just code, because the images and sounds was not included on it.

I insist in the term that I could lunch the game for free, but he insist not to agree that, he says that he don’t want this, and I did respect his decision.

Months later, some other developers lunch apps, like caveman.

First of all, I think that some people here like to talk so much without any documentation about.

John Beebe’s first copyright notice into his readme file that was included when he open sourced his code:

"Tilt Monster is a tilt-based game template designed for mobile devices. It was Jonathan Beebe and Biffy Beebe’s first-shot at creating mobile games/apps using the Corona SDK, and was live in the App Store for a full year (and counting!)

In 2011, it was released as Open Source to the Corona SDK community, so developers can learn from it and/or use it as a framework for new projects. Tilt Monster is still in the App Store (free), so if you decide you use it as a game template, you should definitely switch out the graphics and rename it.

Special thanks to Ricardo Rauber for providing the Director Class which is used in this game."

The open sourced code was at:
https://github.com/jonbeebe/Tilt-Monster

In that time, after this or in the middle, John incorporate into Corona Team as I know and the license was changing over the time.

In my personal case, I did respect some copyrights, like John, Ricardo, and others, you can find into the code of my App, you can found a copyright notice. This is because in that moment Apple’s with Jobs in live, they not like so much that you include open sourced code with GPL rights into their apps.

As he saids: " …you should definitely switch out the graphics and rename it.

After this was another post at corona developer site:
http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/tilt-monster

On where John says in one of his comments:
Posted on Sun, 2011-07-24 05:54
“You are free to do what you want with the code/images, etc. :slight_smile:”

Sorry for you if you do not take “a piece of the cake” at that moment.

King regards and THANKS A LOT JOHN BEEBE AGAIN!!!
