Spaceball: /* Zero-K is FLOSS but only the code. The art/music/assets are proprietary */ new section

It's not just a gaming engine. It's a game. In fact, isn't it ONLY a game? --[[User:Andrewmin|Andrewmin]] 00:14, 6 January 2008 (CET)

:It's a game engine. Without additional stuff (mods, original ta) you can't play it afaik --[[User:Qubodup|Qubodup]] 03:25, 6 January 2008 (CET)

== Zero-K is FLOSS but only the code. The art/music/assets are proprietary ==

...or very restrictive. That's what I've found out: http://zero-k.info/forum/Thread/383
So, anyone who may think to add it here, consider that the community and the devs do not wish the art/music etc. to be "Free Culture" or follow the http://freedomdefined.org/Definition definition. Just to let you know. I misled myself to believe that Zero-K had free assets... [[User:Spaceball|Spaceball]] 15:41, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

==History==
The Spring Project was founded by [[Stefan Johansson]] with the goal to replace the TA engine. After some years in development, they have decided to release the game under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]. The decision to open source the project is a very difficult choice for Stefan Johansson and his team because they have spent a lot of time developing the engine.<ref>[http://springrts.com/wiki/History#History Spring Project history] accessed on September 6{{th}}, 2009</ref>
