Hedgewars is going to be Closed Source

Dear all,

Update: Yes it's an april fool :)

all Hedgewars source code has been acquired by a company named Lirpa Sloof. All the copyrights will go to the acquirer: they will continue development and decide a new business model for this game, making periodic releases and perhaps inserting ads while in game.

All the process is under strict NDA and unfortunately noone is allowed to give any further detail about this acquisition; moreover developers have signed effective-immediately contract that forbids to re-licence the current sources, as well as users to download and compile the game.

I'm sure the new company controlling development will take care of the current userbase and will lead this game under a new shining direction, even if sources won't be available any more.

This is going to be into effect from today, April 1st 2011.
Good luck,
Koda

SPOILER ALERT!















nobody can fool me;
lirpa sloof = april fools reverse...
Nice one though...

You're awesome!

And... where's my prize ? Wink Smiley

You're lucky that we have the first of April. Otherwise I would cry, and you don't want that, do you?

April Fools pranks get a better result when you break them out a day or two before the 1st. Maybe next time. Smile
