This fraud is successfully building animus in the community. It is,by definition, not open source. An open source license MUST allow any use, including commercial use.

Thank you for the feedback. It was never our intention to step on any toes or misrepresent Defold. Please see this statement: https://twitter.com/defold/status/1262744466311360517

I'm glad that for the twitter statement. The website is still misleading, though; I hope that will be corrected soon. I wish you the best!

I might be missing something, but:

- https://defold.com/license/

Edit (after reading other comments): Ohh, derivative works of the Editor itself cannot be commercialized. Hmm.
