You need to buy the game just to access source code. That's how GPL work.
How the GPL works is that anyone who buys the game is fully entitled to share the source code with anyone else completely legitimately (modified or unmodified), provided they include the license.
It's not piracy to do so.
Yep I know that but someone have to share the source code first. I know it's not piracy. I just share the source code because some people want to access but don't want to buy the game.
I'm not a programmer but thanks for sharing
