Re: A License Question
No, I don't think you could do that.

Yes . As long as you release it under the same licence (add fulfill the terms thereof), it's perfectly fine to charge for download.

Re: A License Question
No, like make a game. Lets say Mario. In a mod, eg Panther. So it has URL blocks. Using alot of coding I could make it charge for a download of a new player e.g Luigi. Can I do this?

Re: A License Question
YES
Now that I've necroposted and felt stupid, please lock this topic. I believe the question has been answered sufficiently. If not, assign a moderator to answer it and file it away (cheddargirl, can you spare a bit of time?).
