You know, I was thinking, since a lot of us have put together some really interesting libraries/tools/etc. to help us create our own games, perhaps we could put all these tools together under some license usable to iDGers.
For example, TomorrowPlusX's GUI toolkit, my particle system creator, things like that that we could put all together as solid game-making tools. Libraries and tools would be released without source code as learning tools for people who aren't going to create a shareware/commercial title. For those people who do contribute, source code would be included for any kind of editing(Because we aren't all perfect) and we would have some sort of license for it, maybe for any money made by using the tools/libraries, a small percentage of it would be kicked back to iDevgames itself.
What do you think?
