License seems to be quite permissive, isn’t it? I specifically checked. Unless you mean strict copyleft.

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”

Well, we are in the lemmy subforum named "open source" so its implied.

Fair point!
