Choice of licence
The reason for why I have ended up choosing this licence, compared to for example "Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal", this is one of the licences that requires you to document the changes you have made to the source and to make the sourcecodes available when distributed to others - which Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal does not require.
Since this is a "work in progress" project that will be developed further, and be distributed to other locations around the world - the benefit and importance of seeing how the project might develop further and to benefit to the original project - would be of great value.
This project is just a small piece of a big globale corporate game industry called "Escape hunt", and our lab will not be the single producer for this project. Instead, the goal is to make available the digital files online, for other franchise owners to use them as production files in their local FabLab. It has already generated income for our lab, and hopefully this will also generate both activity and income for other labs around the world.
