"textContent": "Godot is migrating from their open-source Asset Library to a new closed-source Asset Store in Godot 4.7. The Asset Library is open source (https://github.com/godotengine/godot-asset-library) while their new Asset Store is closed source and only has an issue tracker (https://github.com/godotengine/godot-asset-store-tracker). NonFreeNet should probably be added as an anti-feature to Godot 4 on F-droid. They are using this as an opportunity to add paid assets (this will obviously incentivize low quality trash filling up the asset store) where they will probably be taking a cut of the money. They don’t have paid assets yet (It’s on their road map) but this will likely rely on closed-source payment providers. Open sourcing the asset store, however, is NOT on their road map page. They are planning to deprecate the open-source asset library. Do NOT use Godot versions newer than 4.6.x. 4.6.x (currently 4.6.3) is the last \"good”/fully open Godot version.",
