Which one?
What version will be used - will it be the last stable release 0.8, or will it be a newer 'test' version?
Re: Which one?
Read the article, Star Gazer. The version used will be determined at a later date.Star Gazer wrote:What version will be used - will it be the last stable release 0.8, or will it be a newer 'test' version?

I did, couldn't see any hint of the cut-off point in time... that's why I asked...eugenelim wrote:Read the article, Star Gazer.

It's just that so much has been improved in the last month or so, it would be a shame for that not to be in the version included.

Hi,
I'm Henrik, project lead at TheOpenCD. I've been lurking here for a while
Yes, Wesnoth will be included on v2.0 of TheOpenCD scheduled for release in December. I've followed the game development for a few months now and I'm very impressed with the the progress and the community.
So, for those who don't know the project, TheOpenCD is a compilation of the very best user-level FOSS available on the Windows platform. The program selection is slowly growing as more desktop applications mature, but the current number is still just 25. Because there are a fair number of Free games around, we are esp. strict about the criteria for these, and will probably contine to cap the number at about 4-6.
In the next few weeks we'll be working on the text and other content to be included with the CD browser. This time the installer will also be multi-lingual. Please stop by our forum [1] and/or wiki [2] to help with text authoring, screenshot submissions or other suggestions that will help portray Wesnoth in a favorable light. We would also appreciate any help anyone could provide with translations (esp. after the text freeze on Nov 10th). Thanks.

I'm not a dev, so this isn't an official answer, but I think that GPL states that you can use anything in this website for non-commercial purposes.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

We might also want to add some documentation from your wiki directly to the CD at some point, if that's OK.

OK, thanks that sounds good. Our install system is itself GPL.
And miyo is right, non-commercial is a different matter. CD distribution companies, small computer shops, etc. do sell copies of the CD, but that's not an issue. I don't think there are any open source licenses that lets you restrict commericial use (though you can do it with a trademark).

Btw, where on the web-page it is said that all content of the web-page is GPL? Game being GPL does not make the content on Web-page GPL.joshbosh321 wrote:I'm not a dev, so this isn't an official answer, but I think that GPL states that you can use anything in this website for non-commercial purposes.
