Shopping for Christmas? Buy educational toys this year...

Wow! Can I have that all in Plain English please???

Basically, it means you have many rights, and only one restriction...

• You can make copies of the game - as many copies as you like, in fact - and give copies to whoever you like...
• Yes, you can even upload Math Frozen Bubble to your own website, without even asking me...
• If you are so inclined, you can even get the source code for Math Frozen Bubble (it's in the jar file), and make your own version...
• You can distribute your version to whoever you like, even charge people for it, without asking me...

So what's the catch

• You have to give everyone else the same rights - and restriction - that I gave you.
• This applies to whatever copies of the game you distribute - whether modified or not.
• It also means you can't hide from people the rights and responsibilities they have to your version of the game.

Well, that's the plain English version of the copyright.

I made the game by downloading the source code of Frozen Bubble and modifying it. I can do this since Frozen Bubble was released under exactly the same copyright that Math Frozen Bubble is. In fact, it had to be that way, since that's what Frozen Bubble's copyright required of me!

More information about Open Source Software is available on the web. Or would you rather just play Math Frozen Bubble?
