From the discussion on the General board, the editor is part of the DROD Sourceforge open-source "
package"
, and has to be included. The only things you will have to pay for are the "
official"
holds that Erik and Caravel make. And isn't $10 a small price to pay for people not to say, "
I would have liked your hold except that all those ideas were already done in the official hold"
?
Just kidding, of course, I don't begrudge anyone their income or lack thereof. I'm just really hoping that there will be some incredibly unique "
boss"
monster like the 'Neather in the official hold, to make it even more special. Since it can't show up in the editor, it shouldn't affect the open-sourceness of DROD 1.7.
Game on,
