    Isn't Bungie a fully owned subsidiary of M$? I wonder if the Bungie folks consulted their masters, and if they did, does this portend a possible softening of M$'s hard line against Open Source? There's more to this, I feel it (whether this is a nod to Open Source from M$, or if this will be followed by a reigning in of Bungie's autonomy, I don't know).

    it runs on linux?
    isn't Bungie a MS-owned company (i belive they were bought out so that Halo would go on X-Box)

    Technically you are right, but when Bungie was bought they retained control over their work... If Microsoft (you know, the complete entity) had say so I would bet they wouldn't have be able to release the code.
