Comment

GPL license is likely wrongly applied to this:

Do not distribute anything I've made. This includes the client and the server software for the game. This also includes modified versions of anything I've made.

Also on the former DRM tag:

Once you've bought the game, it's yours. No DRM.

Editor notes (2)

Unlike the Windows and Mac versions, the Linux version is distributed as plain Java runtime (.jar archive) which is not Linux specific at all and can be run on any other platform with Java VM.

Online play is free, offline play requires purchasing online play. The game is GPL and source code is freely available (so paying is not strictly required for anyone who modifies and compiles the code themselves. This is perfectly legal, though somewhat inconvenient)
