What’s great about combing open source with creative commons is how similar to the Fediverse how everything is federated into different servers, the media, and the games based on it are also federated. With different parties involved in the projects.

Here is a real world example you can play and view right now.

  1. creative commons example.

The Pepper&Carrot web comic is under a creativecommons license meaning generally you can download, share, view, make your own version of it. (including animated and video games)

  1. open source game projects based on a creative commons media.

Some talented developers took this creative commons property and made some cool open source games you likely won’t find in any Linux Repository.

When everything is freely licensed, the games and the media content itself and is federated between different creators, you get a lot of free video games under an open source license.
