Cultivation — licence ===================== Cultivation is a game by Jason Rohrer (2007; the source package is version 9, May 2010). The author placed the game and its source code in the public domain. His page for the game (the "documentation/html/index.php" of his repository github.com/jasonrohrer/Cultivation, commit 74322d0; read on 2026-11-09) says, under the download links: Cultivation is free software (released into the public domain). and "how_to_play.txt", in the source package the game is built from (Cultivation_9_UnixSource, as repacked by Debian as cultivation_9+dfsg1.orig.tar.gz), says: Cultivation is Free I have placed Cultivation, and the underlying source code, in the public domain. You are free to do whatever you want with it. However, I spent many months working on it, and my family and I do need to eat. If you got some enjoyment out of Cultivation, and you can afford it, please stuff a few dollars in an envelope and send it to: [the author's postal address is left out here] You can also donate online, and read about my family's simple lifestyle (my wife, child, and I live on less than $10,000 per year), here: http://hcsoftware.sf.net/jason-rohrer/supportMyWork.php Debian's copyright file for the package (debian/copyright, 9+dfsg1-5) gives the same text as the licence of everything in it ("Files: *", "License: permissive"), apart from a few files of the author's library, none of them part of this build. A public-domain dedication needs no notice to be kept; this file records where it comes from. The game has one picture file, the font (font.tga), which the author's notes call "my own hand-painted font texture"; every other picture, the music and the sounds are generated by the program. What this site serves: the game compiled to WebAssembly from that source package by build-cultivation.sh (Emscripten 6.0.10), hosted alongside the game with the files of Builds/minorgems-web/ (portaudio-sdl: the PortAudio calls of the author's library "minorGems" over SDL 2 audio; glut-compat: the GLUT, GLU and glBegin/glEnd behaviour the browser's OpenGL emulation lacks). The game's own code is unchanged. It runs in English only: the package also holds French and Portuguese translations (the Portuguese one credited to Jose Jorge in the author's change log), which this site does not serve, because the public-domain dedication is the author's and nothing says the same of the translators'. The compiled game also contains parts of SDL 2.32.10 (zlib licence), libpng 1.6.58, zlib 1.3.2, of the Emscripten runtime (MIT licence) and of musl libc (MIT licence), whose notices follow. The SDL 2 and Emscripten sources are hosted alongside the game (SDL2-2.32.10.zip, libpng-1.6.58.tar.gz, zlib-1.3.2.tar.gz, emscripten-6.0.10.tar.gz). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SDL 2.32.10 (linked into the game; zlib licence) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright (C) 1997-2025 Sam Lantinga This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
