Introduction

Code Origin

This code was originally copied from: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/183617/small-text-game-using-python The original author is "Axel1212"

Current license

According to the terms of StackOverflow, the code used here was made available under the Creative Commons "CC BY-SA 4.0" license.

Much of the code was modified by Tim Bird, but there are still many copyrightable elements in the game, such as the text used for the games, many variable names, the overall structure.

Issue

Desired new license

I (Tim) would like to change the license to a more permissive license, such as MIT or BSD-0.

It is worth re-writing the game from scratch to do this?

Clearly, once I start accepting contributions from other parties, under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, it will be more difficult to change the license. I would need authorization from all parties to do this.
