Rebel Engine
Rebel Engine is free and open source software released under the MIT license.
This license grants users a number of freedoms:
- You are free to use Rebel for any purpose
- You can study how Rebel works and change it
- You can distribute unmodified and changed versions of Rebel, even commercially and also under a different license (including proprietary)
The only restriction to that third freedom is that you need to distribute the copyright notice and license statement of Rebel whenever you redistribute it. So your derivative product may have a different license, but should still state in its documentation that it derives from the MIT licensed Rebel Engine.
Games created with Rebel
The Rebel license applies to Rebel only and not to the games created with it. You are free to publish your game(s) under any license you see best fit, and you will be their sole copyright owner(s).
Note however that the Rebel binary that you would distribute with your game is a copy of the “Software” as defined in the license, and you are therefore required to include the copyright notice and license statement somewhere in your documentation.
A link to this page (rebeltoolbox.com/license) in your game documentation or credits would be an acceptable way to satisfy the license terms.
Third-party components
Rebel uses and encourages the use of third-party libraries, integrations, modules and code snippets, which are distributed under their own licenses and copyright statements. You can refer to the full copyright list for a comprehensive overview of all third-party components and licenses used in Rebel.
