Title: Contact info for Chris Jones to enquire about licencing?
Post by: JackAnimated on Mon 04/02/2019 11:18:17
As the title suggests, I'd like to contact Chris Jones to enquire about the terms for selling games made with AGS. How can I contact him?

Many thanks.

Various information floating around is out of date.

You don't need to contact Chris Jones about releasing commercial AGS games any longer. The AGS licensing terms allow anyone to freely do so, as the link you found points out.

However, the info on that link is itself slightly out of date: the mp3 patents have now expired, so you don't need to license them either. I think also someone might have replaced the Sierra default speech font in with a free one, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

The thing is, there is not such thing as "default font" (anymore?). Each template may have its own. It may be worth to check the template's license too.
