19 ## Hiss Editor license to be determined
20
21 People's opinions about licenses have gotten weirdly polarized lately and I
22 find some of the motivation to be somewhat bizarre. The editor will have some
23 sort of open-source license, but it will probably be copyleft.
24
25 **The games you make with Hiss are 100% yours.** You own all rights to your
26 game content. The exported player and all code are yours to keep, trade, or
27 sell as you see fit. I might make the game player code public domain (or a
28 permissive license like MIT or BSD) to make it clear that you can do anything
29 you'd like with your exported games.

31 The Hiss runtime game format is a *very* simple JavaScript data structure so
32 you can always write your own player in the future. The editor game format is
33 an even simpler structured text document. So everything you make in Hiss is
34 easy to preserve for the future. For maximum future-proofing, I encourage you
35 to keep a copy of the Hiss editor itself with your game files. Hiss will always
36 be free to use.
