Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use IGE in my commercial project?

Yes, you can. The EPL license allows you to use an unmodified, binary version of IGE in a commercial plugin or game, as long as you disclaim us from warranty and liability, make sure that any additional guarantees are provided by you alone and your distribute it with information on how to obtain the IGE source code. Any modifications, additions or source code distributions have to be made available under the same license as IGE and your distribution has to include the license text.

Can I use IGE in a GPL project?

Yes. Although the EPL and GPL are usually incompatible, we added an exception that allows you to use and distribute an unmodified, binary version of IGE under the terms of the GPL v2 or later. However, if you do this, you also have to make both the binary and source code available under the same license as IGE.

Can I reuse your code?

Our license allows you to reuse our code only if you distribute your code under the same license. If you'd like to reuse our code in a project that's not related to IGE, you can however ignore our GPL exception and distribute your code under the normal EPL.
