The creator can sell it, but any third party selling of free software is not allowed, unless you charge ONLY for the price of production, IE if a friend has no burner and you charge him for the CD.

It would be cool if Dan released it as a retail game, perhaps EB would sell it.

I donno someone would have to produce it to. Its not just as simple as saying I want to sell my game so there for I am. It involes marketing and hyping the game to get sells so that you at least make your money that it cost you to produce the game. I would play for it if it had more song(about 60, different djs(at least 12), came on real CD not cdrs and had a really nice case(maybe with a holographical thing on the front).

FoF was made by Cryptic Allusion. I only know of Dan Potter, who's also the guy who originally coded most of KallistiOS. They said that they might make something else (I think), but I really don't know. I doubt that they do either.

Cless - It's very easy to sell a game. You just burn a few copies (or get them pressed), and give them to people in return for money. Selling through a large publishing company is a different matter altogether. That's when you need to start worrying about marketing and all that rubbish.
