There are other phrases that are usable, such as source first (in the case of FUTO licenses) or source available (when source is under copyright but is provided).
The engine, being actually MIT, is however open source.

Thank you for licensing your project. I appreciate your commitment to open source. More developers and people should be like you.

"open source" is not a trademark. Technically he can say whatever.

I don’t think Katdork is claiming the phrase “open source” is protected. He’s just saying it’s inaccurate in this case. Like claiming a fish has arms — the statement is legal, it’s just wrong.

I'm saying that words have meaning and that meaning should ideally not diluted. But, considering the developer licensed their project as MIT, I'm very happy.

Looks like MIT license has been added to the game now too.
Unfortunately no README.md

There's nothing in that repo showing what the game actually is? And url the repo is pointing at (https://reprobate.site/) is asking for login credentials.
Please read the open source definition; https://opensource.org/osd.

The first game here is to understand what the code does without a high-level README.
I will explore your game source too.

I could compile the Lua to byte code or write a layer of crypto on top of PhysFS though.
Thank you for the heads up.
