Are there any legal issues between ika and the GPL?

0

Technically, games made with ika are not derivatives of ika, much like binaries compiled with GCC need not be GPL. Either way, I own rights to the code, and can relicense as I see fit. (I should change it to LGPL) If it makes you feel better, I hereby formally, with great stuffiness and crap, give permission for anyone to release their ika games under any terms they see fit, provided that it is clear that I made ika itself, and that ika can be obtained for free from this website. Any changes to ika itself, however, are subject to the terms of the GPL.
