Custom license, not free for commercial use. Assets are still proprietary. https://github.com/flibitijibibo/RogueLegacy1/blob/main/LICENSE.md
I guess the main benefactor will be the modding scene. Indie devs can make deals with Cellar Door Studios to get a commercial licence with additional conditions. It might be close to open source in practice if the commercial licences are handed out generously.
Sounds reasonable for a game’s source code to me, I don’t see anyone claiming it’s “open source”
Makes sense to protect the studio's reputation against potential droves of crappy, barely altered clones with scam ads.
Well, we are in the lemmy subforum named "open source" so its implied.
Fair point!
Regarding the proprietary assets, I used to give it some thought, and came to a conclusion that other than selling consultance services, selling assets is the only way to make money while creating something open source. That's why now I don't find proprietary assets to be something bad.
