SkyMP is free software. Most of SkyMP parts are distributed under GPLv3 and/or AGPLv3. Essentially, this means that you are free to do almost exactly what you want with the program, including distributing it among your friends, making it available for download from your web site, selling it (either by itself or as part of some bigger software package), or using it as the starting point for a software project of your own. | ||
SkyMP is a free software program that is primarily distributed under the GPLv3 and AGPLv3 licenses. This means that you have significant freedom to use and distribute the program as you see fit, including sharing it with friends, making it available for download on your website, selling it, or using it as the basis for your own software project. Essentially, you can do almost anything you want with SkyMP. | ||

||
The only real limitation is that whenever you distribute SkyMP in some way, you must always include the full source code, or a pointer to where the source code can be found. If you make any changes to the source code, these changes must also be made available under the GPL. | ||
While you have wide latitude to use and distribute SkyMP, there is one key requirement that must be followed: when you distribute the software in any form, you must include the full source code or a reference to where it can be obtained. Additionally, any changes you make to the source code must also be made available under the GPL. This ensures that others can benefit from and contribute to the development of SkyMP. | ||

Top level folders of this repo represent subprojects and each subproject have it's own license. For full details, read the copy of the license found in the file named `<project_name>/LICENSE.md` (for example, `skymp5-server/LICENSE.md`). | ||
Each subproject within this repository has its own license, which can be found in the top-level folder for that subproject. For example, the license for the `skymp5-server` subproject can be found in the `skymp5-server/LICENSE.md` file. For full details, please be sure to read the appropriate license file for each subproject. | ||

It seems that you also technically can write a proprietary remake of skymp5-client or skymp5-front to use with GPL SkyMP parts as they are not linked directly. Same for other subprojects. But for a reason, I'd say it's a way to disappointment if you ask me. | ||
While it is technically possible to create a proprietary version of skymp5-client or skymp5-front that could be used with the GPL-licensed SkyMP components, this may not be the most ideal solution. Doing so may lead to compatibility issues and may disappoint users who are expecting a fully open source experience. It may be better to release any modified versions of these subprojects under a GPL-compatible license to ensure seamless integration with the rest of SkyMP. | ||
