05:26 beatlink[m] sup guys
05:27 beatlink[m] are there plans to add minetest to steam?
06:26 bebebeko    beatlink[m]: fast googling: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading/distributing_opensource
06:26 bebebeko    Q: Which Open Source Licenses are problematic for shipping on Steam?
06:26 bebebeko    A: Generally, any license that has a so-called “copyleft” element will be problematic when combining code with the Steamworks SDK. The best-known example is GPL.
06:26 bebebeko    The code of both the Minetest Engine and Minetest Game are licensed under LGPL 2.1+ free software license (c) wiki.minetest.net
06:27 beatlink[m] oh
06:34 Spookan     I hope not.
06:37 bebebeko    Spookan: but why?
15:40 maksim      hello!
15:41 maksim      i love minetest
15:57 sagax       it's great
17:36 beatlink[m] couldnt a wrapper be created to circumvent the licensing issues?
17:37 Krock       yes sure but why
17:37 Krock       why would you want to that?
17:37 Krock       LGPL is great, Apple sucks. case closed.
17:37 beatlink[m] wider access and appeal
17:37 beatlink[m] theres a balance to be made between idealism and practicality
17:38 beatlink[m] sure i love the open source ecosystem
17:38 beatlink[m] been using linux since i was 12
17:38 beatlink[m] but the main problem it has is marketability
17:38 beatlink[m] we get so caught up in principles that we make it super hard for the masses to enter the open source world
17:38 Krock       like commercial use?
17:38 beatlink[m] not commercial use
17:39 beatlink[m] but like, getting normal users into open source software
17:39 Krock       Do you mean putting it on Steam, GOG or Itch.IO?
17:42 beatlink[m] yes yes and yes

21:51 Pentium44   Wow, haven't been on freenode in so long that my nick wasn't registered anymore LOL
22:17 Guest4491   Why ndkVersion in app/build.gradle is 21.1 while it use ndk r16b?
22:17 Guest4491   Is the r16b version number 21.1? I thought was something like 16
