Exe-Export

Heey everyone!

Just one question:

If you export your game/blend-file to exe on windows with the addon,
Does it automatically pack the blenderplayer with it?

License wise…

Yes, it packs the blenderplayer along with your blend file. And yes in this case you fall under GPL and must give the source for free.
Check out blender.org faq, for how to avoid the GPL.

Thx mate :^)

I just saw a tutorial on how to pack to .exe, and was wondering if that was a work around for the GPL.

Yeah i read that yesterday :slight_smile:

Make an .exe file that loads the necessary files…
The exe with the loader and blenderplayer fall under GPL but the blend files it requires you can license differently, right?

Thank you very much brother!! This was really helpful!! Looking forward to read this kind of article in the future as well!!

The exe with the loader and blenderplayer fall under GPL but the blend files it requires you can license differently, right?

yes, you make a launcher.blend that opens your game blend, then the launcher blend will be gpl, and you game blend can be any licenxe you want.

Your own created .blend files are license free.

I’m going to close this…
My question is answered :slight_smile:
THX guys

@Cotaks => bookmarked you’re resources, looks like I can learn a thing or two from what you have there!

Keep up the great work
