Shattered is a fork. The original Pixel Dungeon has a permissive license and allows selling modifications with source available

you can download it from github for free - missing the PC improvements like more quickslots and a larger inventory screen that can stay open while dungeoneering, but it's the full game: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases
