If you're worried about some corporation leaching off of you, why not go AGPLv3 instead?

  Devtools for boardzilla.io

  

Hey Joemi. I wanted to make a self-hosted single game runner, but I haven't gotten to it yet. The interface used by the game/server is detailed here https://github.com/boardzilla/boardzilla-devtools/blob/main/... so it should be pretty easy to make this runner. I hope to get to it soon.

  A Javascript library for building multiplayer turn-based games (by ravens-engine)

  

You might be interested by an open-source project I started a few years ago but never really finished: https://github.com/ravens-engine/core

I had the idea after developing Swords and Ravens, an online adaption of A Game of Thrones: the Board Game (2nd edition), and realizing that there was a way to make a library to allow people to create board games without having to bother with the network part.

I also wrote a blog post about it: https://longwelwind.net/blog/networking-turn-based-game/

Good luck in your project!
