Hi Cocos guys!
I need clarification on a licensing conflict I’ve discovered.
The Conflict:
The license file included in my Cocos Creator installation (resources/License/License_and_terms_en.rtf) states in Section 1.3:
“license to use Cocos Creator solely to develop applications and games”
However, the Cocos User Service Agreement (dated Sept 2022) states in Section 2.2.1:
“Users can use this software and service free of charge for the purpose of developing games. If Users use Cocos Products and Services for developing applications other than games, they should obtain the Company’s written authorization”
(it can’t post any link here, but it can be easily accessed after a search in google)
My Question:
Which document takes precedence?
I want to develop educational simulators for electronics and industrial automation (not games) and potentially sell them commercially.
- Does the installed Creator license allowing “applications and games” override the User Agreement?
- Or do I need written authorization despite what the installed license says?
I want to ensure full compliance before starting development.
Thanks for clarification!
