seriously tho you kinda need to lean on either computer stuff or kink to make robot sex work. either they've got a data connection and are having crazy sex in their virtual mind palace or they're doing some insane kink shit for the love of the game

That's part of it, sure. I think open licensing and visible source code also make it vastly easier for people to contribute bugfixes and improvements.

Plus, I think code being free is good! Everything I've made references existing stuff, so I want to let others do that with my stuff, too.

IMO, unless you're a lawyer, just doing something to the effect of code MIT, assets ARR is the way to go. Modding is an honor system, and using a license that isn't commonly used makes it way more likely somebody misinterprets it.

It's pretty common practice to have the code and data of a project be a permissive license (MIT, CC, etc.), but have the assets be ARR or the like.

Some mods (like Supplementaries) have custom licenses that permit code re-use but prohibit doing anything with the assets (sounds, art, models).

i need to have the sole method of interaction possible on any of my posts be the ability to make my computer play the bruh sound effect
