Wow, I haven't heard about AGS for a while - glad to see it's still alive and well. It should be noted that it's open source and still sees regular updates (20+ years later!)

If anyone was concerned about the nonstandard license, the FSF says this:

>This license is a free software license, compatible with the GPL thanks to the relicensing option in section 4(c)(ii).


Interesting.

I remember the original author of AGS was strongly against open source back in the day. Nice to see he either recanted, or handed the reigns to someone who wasn't opposed.


Looking at the changelog, the open source license came in around September 1999.


Wow! 1999? I know I'm old when it feels almost like yesterday... (I knew it wasn't a recent development, but I still remember when I first heard of AGS as if it was yesterday!).
