Commercial data usage
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2020 10:28 am
Hello everyone
There are a couple of game databases like this one. Most are in some way free to use but are only for non-commercial use.
I see that the api of thegamesdb.net is under GPL-3.0 License, but I was wondering if the data served by the api is under the same licence, or if not under what licence it is.
I would like to build my application with the option to make it commercial later on. This forces me to look for data that is licenced in a way that allows that. I would love to build onto an existing community, even making my data and my application also GPL-3.0.
Best regards.
