For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down …

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

    I’m not sure if the source is available or not. I remember some talk about it a few years back, but I don’t know what happened. Either way, just because source code is available does not mean it is open source. When I say open source I mean libre.

      I usually use open source to mean open source and free as in lunch, but in this case I assume kovarex is talking about open source but commercial and restrictively licensed. I could be wrong.

        Open source is synonymous with “free software” as in freedom. Source available is likely what you’re talking about.
