So obviously I've been working on a game in RPG Maker XP and along with the development i've been looking into where and how to sell it when it's completed since obviously i want this to be the start of me getting into the games industry.
now while i have been trying to all the scripting myself such as editing the base script and making new systems, there are a couple of scripts i use that have came from where using Creative Commons - Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported. now Attribution and ShareAlike are fine but the nagging concern i have is the NonCommercial Part
now looking at this, to me it means that most scripts here which use it can't be used for games we would make and hope to sell and as much as i would love to just give my game away for free, there has been costs involved and i hope to raise up money to hire people for my next project.
So i would like to know,
NOTE: i have posted this in Game Development because this is more general Game Development rather than being something unique to RPG Maker

QuoteNoncommercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes

So i would like to know,
- can i sell my game if i used a script that has this NonCommercial condition?
- is the answer to above the same if i make alterations to the script?
