Just one question : as long as Arduino is "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (CC BY-SA), and as Gamebuino includes Arduino code, it should be released under the same license, shouldn't it?

1. The "Have Fun!" Agreement
I'm not sure what the real name for it is(can't remember right now), but it just says that anyone may have the app and its source code. If they modify and/or redistribute it, they must give credit to the original creator.
2. The "Play & Study" Agreement
This says that the app and its source code can be distributed, but it CANNOT be redistributed, whether modified or not.
3. The "Just Use it" Agreement
This says that only the app can be publicly distributed, and the source code can only be distributed by the creator under his own free will.
If any of the above agreements are not followed by, the user will be punished as fitting to the crime committed.
I've got some ideas for punishments:
-Banning from Certain Forums
-Deactivation of Accounts (which would only allow you to download apps[can that be something?])
-Loss of your soul (This is just a joke)
Moderator Edit : Topic moved from "Gamebuino Games". Seriously.

BozoDel wrote:libraries/tinyFAT is clearly marked as LGPL which seems to contradict the CC BY-SA stated in the main readme. Also, it looks like it came from somewhere else, but the author's name isn't stated anywhere. Maybe it's official Arduino code?
BozoDel wrote:libraries/Gamebuino: is there any Arduino code in this folder? If so, is it in separate files, or totally mixed up with Gb code? If you're going to LGPL the whole thing (which is probably the best option), then it doesn't matter. If they're going to use different licenses, then they have to be clearly separated. Keeping it LGPL is simpler, and it's permissive enough so that these libraries can be used in proprietary games. Sure, using, say, MPL would be simpler, but that's no good if part of the libraries is already LGPL (that is, gamemakers will have to provide compilable parts).
