During the past few months, we've got many questions about upcoming features,
the latest code changes, and the status of the current developments around the
Cafu Engine. Well, to be perfectly honest, we had some trouble with providing
new features and even with answering all the questions, but only because we
were secretly working on something else: making the Cafu engine
open-source!
Yes, you've read right - we have prepared the greatest Christmas present
that we could ever give you, our fellow community, developers and friends:
All source code has been put under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3). The GPLv3 guarantees that from now on, Cafu is and will always be free software in the spirit of the Free Software Foundation.
In parallel, the source code will be available under custom commercial licenses as well (dual licensing), thus if you want to develop software that is free from the restrictions of the GPL, you can contact us for a custom license that is tailored to your needs. [UPDATE: Put under the MIT license in 2016.]
Specifically for making the source code available for everyone, we've replaced our internal Subversion server with a new one that is powerful enough in order to provide you with proper repository access.
If you have Subversion installed, you can checkout the source code now via
We will soon (before New Year) provide the source code in zip packages for download as well, and add documentation on how to access it via Subversion and how to compile it. All this will here be announced in another news post soon.
