Questions
What is 'open source'?
Software is comprised of code - instructions given to the computer and other software that define how the program functions, and how the user interacts with it. This is also referred to as the 'source code'. The open source movement is such that the source code is freely available, 'open', to anyone. From there they may learn from the code, or utilize it for use within their own software.
Why open source?
Essentially, why not? Up-and-coming programmers can sift through the code and learn. Perhaps the code includes a capability that another requires for their software. In this sense, being open source is also helping others, and sharing knowledge.
Will this game really be free? Any catches?
This game will ALWAYS be free, and the Pool 4 All team will never charge a cent, even for any possible extra features. There are no catches, such as spyware or limited trial use. Such things would undermine the motive of the game - to provide a free and fun means to virtually enjoy the popular past-time that is pool.
May I submit ideas for the game?
