U61 (v0.4.1) - Frequently Asked Questions




Why is the game called U61?
===========================


  In fact, when I first started this project, I had called it "Tetr61s". This
  was because the game was at first supposed to be quite close to Tetris(c) and
  there's a letter in Russian which is pronounced "i" (like in "tetris") and
  when you write it down it looks like you have written 61.

  Since the Tetris Company (http://www.tetris.com) claims to have a
  look-and-feel copyright on Tetris(c), and sues independant game programmers
  who program Tetris(c) like games, I could not call the game Tetr61s, nor make
  a plain Tetris(c) clone. So I decided to start a new project, more general,
  and change the name. So "U" is because my nickname is "U-Foot" and "61" is
  because it is the successor of "Tetr61s".



Can I copy the game?
====================


  Yes, since the game is Free Software (free as in speech), protected by the
  GPL (GNU General Public License). You should have received a copy of the GPL
  with the game. For more informations on the GPL, check "http://www.gnu.org".
