Html5 demo with some Battle for Wesnoth images

Post by FaridTheNaiveGuy »

Hey guys,

I introduced myself: I play sometimes at Battle for Wesnoth and I am a runtime environment developer, meaning that I usually work in compiler or virtual machine related project.

One year ago I started to fancy an open source web framework, Amber smalltalk (http://amber-lang.net/). To help pushing the framework to the mainstream, I implemented a video game demo, that will be an official Amber demo soon. However I am not a graphic designer but a developer, so I borrowed the open source graphics of Battle for Wesnoth, as it is allowed by the GPL license.

What I did is a demo, so it will not generate money, create a gamer community or anything like that. As a demo, the goal is that people can look into the code, understand and reuse it, so it has to be and it is open source. I think it is nice that open source projects are used to push other open source projects, I know some people will consider this as robbery but it is like that.

Now I'd like to respect the GPL license of Battle for Wesnoth. There is currently a reference to Battle for Wesnoth website in the credits. I heard I need to put a .txt file named license at the root of the deployed version with a reference to Battle of Wesnoth website too. Is that so ? Is that enough ?

Just a few links :
Amber open source web framework: http://amber-lang.net/.
My demo: http://clementbera.github.io/amber/proj ... snoth.html.
My demo with Class browser button enabled during game to be able to browse the code:

Thanks for non aggressive answers,
