this looks quite good ill give it a shot
Why 2 profiles for the same engine here in IndieDB? And why both relate it as a proprietary licensed engine if documentation says it's an Open Source engine under LGPL v3 (at least the core and distribution parts, the parts that interest to indie developers)?

Amazing and 100% free
Thanks! :D
Game Develop isn't a proprietary licensed engine. it's an Open Source engine where the IDE is under GPL v3, the Core is under LGPL v3, and the extensions are under zlib/libpng license. So, please adjust the profile.
