@kura originally a commercial game that was abandoned, its makers did not litigate after the source got leaked. so it's abandonware i guess?

Oh it's leaked, I though the devs released it as is thinking they could exploit people and relaunch the thing.
Technically speaking anyone that will do code changes to it will not belong to them, it will be to the copyright owner of whoever still owns starbound.
