HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

[kyonides]

As far as I am concerned, both mkxp and HiddenChest should be licensed under the GNU General Public License v2+, especially all mkxp derived works like HiddenChest itself. So google it and you will get your answer.

Games, distributed with mkxp/hiddenchest are still made with RPG Maker Software...

That is not quite accurate, my friend. It should say "are still partially made with RPG Maker software" in order to stress out that it is a free implementation of MANY features already available in RPG Maker games (plus a couple of free functions added by Ancurio like the mouse related ones or my custom Ruby classes or modules plus the higher windows resolutions). Obviously, you will need to make the corresponding payments to the RM representative if you sell your games, but I doubt Ancurio will ever ask you to pay him any buck at all. I do not recall the GPL license would ever allow me to sell the HiddenChest player executable as a whole product. Ruby's creator Matz will not ask you to make any payment.

I made a statement about any custom editor because that would certainly change a lot of things here. Since both of us are not working with a custom editor, everything I have said about the player executable should still be valid. You should only worry about most of this stuff the day you get that custom editor.

Even so reading the license mentioned above should tell you whether or not you can sell your game if it includes stuff licensed under the GPL. I think it should still be possible somehow, but I am no expert on licenses so... If it lets you do it, you would have to share all code involved in mkxp or HiddenChest via URLs at least with proper credits included. If you ever mix your own code directly with mkxp's or HiddenChest's, then you will be screwed up for sure.
