Well, it works with binary formats. But why are those Frameworks mostly ASCII?
(Also, in the future, no-one will have to download LÖVE, because it will come with the operating system.

Open-source I assume. I dunno. Some of it's binaries, but a lot is text. Also, it compresses really well if ZIPped.

I believe it is sourcecode.

The frameworks come with the library's header files (the files you'd find installed in /usr/include or wherever).

Are the header files so large then?

Well, collectively the headers are about 2MB, though around half of that is FreeType's fault (and another quarter is SDL's).

UPX is cool, but I don't recommend using the LZMA option because LZMA requires a lot of overhead during the decompression stage. The default options are sufficient.
