[Jeux libres] Tethical, a free Tactical RPG Maker

[Jean-André Santoni <jean.andre.santoni AT gmail.com>]

I'm developing a game engine to create tactical RPGs. I have seen 2 or 3 projects like this, because Linux lacks this style of game, but they all died. We are a team of 4 people now, 3 coders and 1 pixel artist. We use Panda3D which is a very good tool to create games.

I think we need help choosing a license and convincing people that we can have an economical model around a free tool. You can read this topic to see what kind of fear arises when coming to the choice of a free license http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8706.0

Do you know any good way, any success story of game creators living of their free games?
