Can I monetize my LÖVE game?

Post by Katamori »

If I have a LÖVE game, am I allowed to ask money for it? Do I have to pay anything from my earning to the creators of LÖVE? How does it work?

As it says on the homepage:

LÖVE is licensed under the liberal zlib/libpng license. This means that:

It costs nothing.
You can use it freely for commercial purposes with no limitations.

But it's always good to donate a little percentage with the devs team for their love and their awesome creation, I know I will once I make any money :P

I'll make it too.

Also, it's cool if you add a LÖVE logo/link in your game's introduction/credits, to support and share this AWESOME framework!

Not sure why they always put it like that, but now I do it too.

Asterisks are used to emphasize a word - probably heritage from markdown.
*awesome* = awesome
awesome = awesome

Yeah, I got that. I just always wondered why they did it *everywhere*. :)

Just make sure it doesn't look like LÖVE endorses your game or anything. I don't think it's a requirement of the ZLIB license (IANAL, though), but it's polite at the very least.

The other way around, actually.
