Minetest means much more than 'free', it has a philosophy behind it, to share with others, knowledge, solidarity, some would even say that it is communism hahaha. And it has one obligation: If you modify it, you have to share it, yes or yes. Minetest wouldn't exist if it weren't for this.
Then you are wrong. Just take a look, I share all the changes.
https://github.com/MultiCraft
I also did some backport functions in Minetest, did a redesign of the java part when it was required. Now I am preparing some interesting changes for Android port, which I am porting it for Minetest as well. This will be useful for both simple players and developers.
If I tried to push through every change to the API, or functionality in Minetest, instead of creating my own fork, the development of my subgame would be frozen or complicated. Sometimes so much lua code is just a few API changes! But I know that Minetest would never agree to this, because it is specific to the MultiCraft subgame.
I wasn't talking about Multicraft. I always defended it. Although the truth is that I didn't think the code existed, because people here are very angry at it. They even banned it from the servers, which I always said I didn't think was right for games that shared the code.
What I wanted to say, and in reference to the developers, is that if you take the money, then don't say that everything is fine. This same thread is an example, some people saying that Minetest should be promoted more, and some developers saying no, that everything is perfect. I'd like their opinion if you didn't work at Multicraft for money. But if that's not the case, I think it's a tremendous hypocrisy.
If Multicraft has 10M downloads it's because something is doing well with money. Money calls money. If you think Minetest should remain a small Open Source project, well, OK, but don't work for the competition. Or if you do, support making Minetest more 'entrepreneurial' and aggressive. So more promotion, sell t-shirts, make a lot of money to pay developers, server site, advertisements... Microsoft has now hired PewDiePie and a bunch of Youtubers to promote Minecraft. They are very afraid of Hytale. And the truth is that they had Minecraft a bit fanned, but now they have moved their ass.
To give another example, it is as if a person works in his spare time in an NGO to save children in Africa and also works in a pharmaceutical company that makes vaccines more expensive. Rare.
With this I don't want to criticize the developers, it would be stupid on my part, because without them Minetest would already be long dead for real. It's just my opinion.
