My friends project

A friend of mine is making his own game. He wanted to ask if it's okay (or at least legal) to use WML as the code for his game. He told me that the game is going to be a turn based, modern warfare strategy game. I didn't know where else to put this thread.

Only if he releases the rest of the code under the GPL. At least i'm pretty sure about that requirement. (i'll have to read GPL again, though).

But if he does, and gives credit to wesnoth, no one here will be mad. They'll probably be happy.

Well, if you just mean the WML file standard then there should be no problems whatsoever. If he uses the WML parsing code from wesnoth, then he will need to follow the GPL...

Thanks. I'll tell it to him. By the way, he was gonna release it under GPL anyway. I'll put an attachment in here as soon as he gives me the first version. Oh yeah forgot, he told me that he's going to make campaigns about real historical events (like WWII, Vietnam, Cold War, Iraq and so on)
