  • The trademark policy is low key important and I hope they are able to simplify the logo licensing at the same time.

    The current logo is CC-BY-4.0 and almost nobody is giving Andrea Calabró the attribution required to use it legally.

    https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/LOGO_LICENSE.txt

    It being used as the default icon for new projects is problematic, lots of starting devs will publish their code or distribute their build with that logo and if they don’t call out the logo licensing specifically its a license violation.

    From a practical perspective I feel the default icon should be CC0, it would be a bit strange if that means we can’t use the Godot logo but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯












  • This is probably the larger story from the OP link:

    The Stargazers Ghost Network uses over 3,000 GitHub “ghost” accounts to create networks of hundreds of repositories that can be used to deliver malware (mainly information stealers like RedLine, Lumma Stealer, Rhadamanthys, RisePro, and Atlantida Stealer) and star, fork, and subscribe to these malicious repos to push them to GitHub’s trending section and increase their apparent legitimacy.

    Edit: a bit more info:

    The malicious GodLoader is distributed by the Stargazers Ghost Network, a GitHub network that distributes malware as a service. Throughout September and October, approximately 200 repositories and over 225 Stargazers were used to legitimize the repositories distributing the malware.

    My take is that Godot has never claimed to be sandboxed, as long as OS.execute() is enabled by default then running arbitrary code in the user context is trivial. The solution of course is to only run code that you trust.



  • Condensation can only happen on the inside of the bottle if it was opened.

    WTF? Just as an experiment get a bottle or jar or something and fill it about one fifth of the way up with water then screw the lid on tight. Now leave it somewhere like a windowsill where the temperature will fluctuate a bit. I can’t speak for your climate but in most places the liquid water will evaporate bit during the day and then the trapped water vapor will condense on the inside of the bottle overnight.
