Licensing, terms and conditions.
Let’s be real, no one is reading any of that.
The majority of software in use by the populace runs under proprietary code with strict nonsensical licensing granting all rights to the game developers and signing you up for meaningless garbage.
With a considerable amount of the internet just clicking “Agree and Continue” to more than 500 lines of text, We decided to create our own license for our projects, in 25 lines or less. It must allow the end users to do whatever they want with the code and program, must make sure that the code is open-source and also require proper accreditation to the original.
With that, we bring the HPL or the “Hearts Public License”.
There will be improvements later on to further satisfy needs.
