       | Digging around the few repos, it seems to be GPLv3

       | I thought that there were too few quests, so I wanted to add
       | some. I was struggling compile code or getting the server to run
       | or something like that. When I asked for help in the forum, I got
       | a rude response mocking my technical abilities. It was completely
       | demoralising and I stopped trying to make more quests.
       | 
       | For years, that was my last experience with contributing to open
       | source.

         | pity them.
