i am thinking about making a game within the same genre and i am looking at kerkerkruip for insperation along with looking at the meterials to see if there is anything i can use or replicate for my game, but i don't know what license the game is released under and i can not seem to find a license anywhere near the top level(and have gone to the website in the description but can not seem to find anything there), so i am wondering you can add a license file to the repo to make it more clear?

I thought the license was on the github page but I could be wrong - I couldn't find it either. IFDB says it's GPL.

Most of the characters and objects in the game are borrowed from other sources, so if you're making a new game with some of those characters, or even Kerkerkruip's mechanics, I don't think you need to worry about the license at all. Disclaimer - that's my perspective and does not reflect that of Viktor or any of Kerkerkruip's other developers.

Ah, Viktor spells it "licence," the British way. That's why I couldn't find it.

Kerkerkruip is published under the GNU GPL\~3 licence. You may download the source code for Kerkerkruip at \ul https://github.com/i7/kerkerkruip\ulnone . If you discover a bug, or have an idea for an addition to the game, please create an issue at GitHub!\par

Kerkerkruip is GPL 3 licenced: /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3

[line break][Kerkerkruip] is free and open source software. It is copyright 2014 and released under the GNU GPL version 3 licence, or any later version.

The ATTACK module also mentions the license, and the ATTACK module was created with the intent of being used for other games:

It probably wouldn't hurt to mention the license in the README too, though.
