I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe. Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow, away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Stolen Minetest??

Is this a stolen version of minetest? Or is this legit?
I would believe it to be a free game, not 3 dollars.

If it provides the source code to purchasers, then it is completely legal.

Ahhh. I am not aware of all the FLOSS stuffs, I figured if it was open source and free then it would always be free.

Good to see more of minetest in the world though.

"free" in "free and open source" means freedom. I prefer the term "FLOSS", which means Freely Licensed and Open Source, as it's clear. I see you've used that.

Can I just say that the best part about that webpage maikerumine linked us to is that it has a screenshot with the favorite "everything's red" shader error.

I am pretty sure the Minetest on www.minetest.net will always be free of charge. And even if not, anyone could simply provide a copy for free of charge somewhere else on the Internet.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that you will ever be practically forced to pay anyone for Minetest.
