    Collection of John Carmack’s .plan files

    You can read some of Carmack's plan files (blogs before blog was coined) for some insight into this, but basically he does it because he learned to code by reading other people's code, and so wants to help the next generation of programmers get started too

  • shapez.io

  • aseprite

    Animated sprite editor & pixel art tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

    Selling GPL software can also work if you have enough momentum and target non-technical users. aseprite is a source-available sprite editor where it's possible and allowed for someone to compile the product themselves. Their license mentions:

  • LibreSprite

    Animated sprite editor & pixel art tool -- Fork of the last GPLv2 commit of Aseprite

    It used to be GPLv2, they changed the license, and now there's an open source fork LibreSprite. You can read about the change here.

  • stack-overflow-import

    Import arbitrary code from Stack Overflow as Python modules.

    Then you may find this Python package amusing.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
